File is password protected
The product refuses mint/stream until a non-owner proves they know the file access password (cookie or inline password on grant).
Why this happens
accessPasswordHash is set and the viewer is not the owner (or has not completed verify). The landing page shows a password gate; APIs return this when the gate is not satisfied. Wrong password is a different message.
Diagnose and fix
1. Visitor: enter the password on the download page, then Create download link.
2. Uploader: share the correct password, or clear it if the gate should go away.
3. Owner signed in as the uploader usually bypasses the gate.
4. Too many wrong tries → Too many attempts (password rate limit).
