What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. String ArrayString= jsonarraystring.get(0); // holds an object

be converted to JSON object exception
3. String uname= jo.get("password").toString(); String pass=
jo.get("username").toString();

I expect to extract the the values of username and password and manipulate
them and use them in my java program. what I see is :
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to
org.json.simple.JSONObject
