If you are being asked for a password, supply the right one.  Otherwise 
it is likely to be a legal question, rather than a technical one, i.e. 
is there any legal reason why the servers should not refuse to talk to 
Lynx, and if so, are you prepared to take the operators to court.

In many cases of discrimination against Lynx, using the user Agent 
string for a recent IE or Mozilla may get round the block, but the site 
may then serve web applications that only works on those browsers.
