HttpWebRequest & NTLM

I have an app that I'm trying to get to retreive a text file from a folder
that only Administrator has permission for.

I'm able to successfully retreive the file if I set credentials to default:
Request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

If I try to set a username and password I get a 401 error:
MyCredentialCache.Add(New System.Uri(SourceURI), "NTLM", New
System.Net.NetworkCredential(UserName, Password, Domain))
Request.Credentials = MyCredentialCache
Anyone know why I get the 401 error? The user I'm setting is administrator
(which I'm logged in as). Is it possible that the problem is because
administrator doesn't have a password?
Thanks.
