Further to Gunter's reply, there was a major change in .56 to the way in
which OpenXP handles session/packet passwords. If you're going to jump
from .51 to .57, here's a snippet of very important information, just in
case you missed it .....

---------- 8< ----------
OpenXP 5.0.56 - 2022-05-07

Improvements and bugfixes:

- FIDO: Added support for a separate packet password.
  The way in which OpenXP handles packet passwords has changed.
  Packet passwords(if required) MUST now be explicitely defined
  in "Edit -> Servers -> Edit -> Robots -> Packet PW", even if
  your packet password is the same as your session password. If
  your BossNode does not use packet passwords, the "Packet PW"
  field should be left empty.
