Each torrent has its own unique fingerprint called a "hash".
The content in a torrent is broken down into pieces or "bits". Each bit comes with its own hash.
While a torrent is downloading, each piece of the content is subjected to a "hash check", where the hash of the piece is compared to the hash of the torrent to verify its integrity.
A "hash fail" is where the piece's hash fails to match the hash of the torrent. This usually is due to a corruption in transfer.
The hash check is one of the best features of bittorrent as it ensures that the completed download will be uncorrupted and prevents anyone from injecting any malware into a clean torrent.
A small amount of hash fails on a torrent is normal.

What is the torrent password for the movie The Business of Being Born?
Your best bet would be to ask the torrent site. Although MOST ( not all ) passworded torrents are fake, sometimes the "group" who uploaded them passworded the torrent. Some private trackers also use passworded archives. Since you do not have a link to the torrent, or the full name of it, this question can not be answered, but be sure to ask the forum at the site where you downloaded it from. Almost all torrent sites have a thread dedicated to this problem. Just be sure to give them the link, or the hash-info of the file, as what you have given is not nearly enough to narrow the torrent down.

What is a bit torrent info hash?
Each torrent has a unique fingerprint called a "hash" or "info hash". This info hash is used to ensure that the completed download of the content associated with a torrent will be uncorrupted. The content in a torrent is broken down into pieces, or "bits", for transfer. Each piece has its own hash and its hash is compared to the info hash of the torrent. If the hashes match, then the piece is accepted as part of the download. If the hashes do not match, then the piece is rejected. The info hash ensures that the completed download will be uncorrupted and also ensures that malware can not be injected into an otherwise clean torrent.

What is a hashfail on bittorrent?
Each torrent has a unique fingerprint called an info hash. Among other information, the info hash has specific information about the content associated with the torrent. As each "bit" of the content is downloaded, it is checked against the info hash to ensure it matches. A "hashfail" is when content you have received through the torrent does not match the info hash's information on the content. It is normal for a small amount of hashfails on a bittorrent transfer as the bits of the content being transferred sometimes get corrupted during the transfer. These corrupted bits that fail the hash check are discarded and the bittorrent client looks for uncorrupted bits to replace them. The hash check ensures that the final download will be uncorrupted.
