Invalid password
 

I am trying to change my password and keep being told it is invalid. What is the problem.
thank you

others have also reported problems changing their passwords using the UserCP.

it might be a glitch, but it might also be that the system will now only accept re-setting to "strong" passwordsWe consider a strong password to be one that is unique to the forums and not used by you elsewhere online. Our passwords require the following:

• A minimum of eight (8) characters
• At least one (1) lowercase letter
• At least one (1) uppercase letter
• At least one (1) number
• At least one (1) of the following special characters: @ # _ $ % ^ & ! ~ ? *

We also recommend the following for your password:

• Do not include personal information such as your birthday, date of birth, or address in your password.
• Avoid commonly used words like "password" or the name of the website.
• Do not use sequences such as "abcd", "123", "asdf", "jkl" or "qwerty".

If you are sure you're trying a strong password, and it still won't work for you, send me an email.
