You need to provide an authorized password. Only the site password or
the list creator password (if any) will work. Quoting from the create
page "You must have the proper authorization to create new mailing
lists. Each site should have a list creator's password, which you can
enter in the field at the bottom. Note that the site administrator's
password can also be used for authentication."
