mac app store error 20

Hi,


I keep having problems with the mac app store. I'm running OS X Mountain Lion on a MBP mid-2010.

Everytime I want to update my apps in the Mac App Store I get "Error 20".


I've searched the internet for any solution, but most solutions are for error 13 or 100. I can not find anything that fix my problem.


What is a particular solution for error 20?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Got this error - apparently - because Apple decided my password wasn't strong enough. Impossible to login to AppStore, it just kept asking me to login over and over without a clue as to why my login wouldn't work. Had to go to https://appleid.apple.com/account/home to login, then choose and set a new password that satisfied Apple's requirements.


Oops, spoke too soon. I now have a new password that works everywhere (incl. here) EXCEPT the AppStore. Still getting nowhere in the AppStore.
