Have you updated your email access to the latest settings?

That's never going to happen because no one on the forum knows, or even wants to know, your email address!
You need to reset the password for the problem email account account and the information you need is the link that jpeg1 posted but to keep it as simple as possible for you:
If you know the password for the problem email account you can reset it by:
Two other things to bear in mind:
Firstly, another change VM have made recently is that, as part of the password reset process, you will have to specify a non VM email address to become the Username for that VM account.
Secondly, the error message you have giving shows that you are using the Unified Mail option in VM webmail to access the effected email account.
That means that you will be affected by the other major change that VM have made. You will also need to generate a separate Mail app password to use in the Unified Mail settings in your webmail account. You will see an option to generate a Mail App password in the My Virgin Media account. Without a Mail App password, the Unified Mail option will not work for the effected email account.

Once you have an App Password select Edit (as highlighted below) and then enter it in Password fields to resolve issue.

It means that the password for the email account that is causing the error “the entered credential or authentication information...” needs resetting and a Mail App password generated for that email account.
You could do that yourself if you knew the existing password, but "I dont know my password for the email address, " so it means you will have to ask VM to reset it for you.
You can either call them on 150 from a VM phone or wait for the Forum Team (VM staff who support this forum) to contact you on this forum thread. That make take a day or so,

Hi Martin. Syou may see, I lockeded myself out of the forum using sambrow46 and couldn't get back as it was linked to my BY email so couldn't reset. I've rejoined using sambrow46. Please can you message me on that?

Oh jeez. That might not make sense. I mean I've rejoined using sambrow461
