Sophos XG API "Authentication Failure"

Good morning all

I am having a problem with the sophos API.
Every time I run my script I get an "Authentication Failure" and I suspect there is a password problem but I can't find the correct password.
I think I have successfully recovered the user's password in the "Entities.xml" file but it does not work

Do you have an idea ?
thank you in advance
