The above is shell output, and is a clear indication you should have
quoted the URL.

The message from the server seems to indicate that the username/password
is wrong, though there are other explanations (first, check that it
still doesn't work after you fix the quoting issue). For instance,
perhaps it's not actually looking for an HTTP-based authentication, but
some sort of form submission, or is based on cookies. In that case
things could get complicated, but take a look at the suggestions at

http://wget.addictivecode.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#password-protected

(Apologies if my mailer split the above URL across a linebreak.)
