In the course of trying to get the email to work, I have apparently done something to cause a new problem:
Now when I try to create a new user/register, no matter what password I try to create, I get a pop up error stating that the password must be 5 characters in length. And it is! I'm using letters numbers and symbols, total of at least 5 and it still pops
up no matter what I try and gives that same message.
I'm almost ready to delete the project and start fresh but wondered what could be causing this to happen. All I did was change the email name in the web config file.
That certainly is weird. Have you checked the validation expression for the RegularExpressionValidator for that field? It should be "\w{5,}"
P.S. By the way, you should post new questions in a new thread, rather than posting at the end of an unrelated thread, so that others in the future who may have the same issue can follow it.
I don't know what in the world I could have done to cause that. I'm just going to start over since I can't get rid of it and there are too many other things I'm trying to learn and resolve. It seems to be some problem with that particular control. Maybe
it got corrupted somehow.
I actually didn't mean to post this hear. I'm so scattered with my various issues I kind got lost as to where I was. [:S]
Hi Lee:
It is so weird. I cannot create a user account on the registration page anymore! I also cannot change the Admin password. Anything to do with creating a password, I keep getting the pop up box (an internet explorer window) that tells me 5 characters are required.
And just so you know I'm not nuts, I've tried: "Cat5!" ; "Catmm5$" ; "Bunny12$" ; and many many others, all clearly with the required characters! No matter what I try, as soon as I go to move to the second box where you re type that password, the red * immediately
appears next to the first box and I know its not going to let me create it.
So far, I have:
1 - deleted all the beerhouses projects on my computer including making sure none of the databases were in SQL management studio, and even deleted the original download zip file,
2 - re-downloaded the Beerhouse zip file,
3 - Used "Restore point" to restore my computer to a time where I think it was working,
4 - Run registry fix,
5 - Tried changing the config file to "4" instead of "5" just to see if it would show 4 but it still gave that message that
"5" characters are required blah blah...
I have another passwordrecovery sample project that I can run with no problems. This problem is only with beerhouse project. I'm reluctant to try to delete the passwordrecovery control in it and re-add it since I'm not sure how its all intertwined with that
template.
I would have thought that if something was stored in memory, causing it to think i was typing less than 5 characters, that going back to another restore point would have cleared that. Is there some place in the registry where the program stores any thing?
I don't know what else to try. It did work before. As far as I know, it just started this today.
I'm running a spy program scan now.
befuddled,
Rae
(I'd like to move this to a new topic. If someone wants to move it or I will paste part in a new topic. Maybe someone else has had this and resolved it)

yes, it is "\w{5,}"

Also, check the MembershipProvider in web.config, and see what it says. It should look something like this:
<membership defaultProvider="TBH_MembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
<providers>
<add name="TBH_MembershipProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer"
applicationName="/"
enablePasswordRetrieval="true"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
requiresUniqueEmail="true" passwordFormat="Encrypted"
maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
passwordAttemptWindow="10"
minRequiredPasswordLength="5"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
</providers>
</membership>
