Your system had a site password, which has been changed since the last
time you tried to edit those processing tables.

Check the datestamp on /etc/default/fppath, and you will see that it
has recently been modified.  Find a recent (but prior to fppath's
modification date) backup that includes the fppath file and restore it.
(Make sure to save the current fppath file as well, in case there have
been any processing tables saved with the new site password.)

Or, contact fpsupport, who can arrange to remove the passwords, if you
can prove that you have the right to them.  There is a fee for this
service.
