    Yeah, use a password thats 7 or more in length with at least one non-alphanumeric

    If you dont want that much complexity:
    - Go into "machine.config" (c:\<Windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<Version>\Config)
    - Find the <membership> node
    - Copy the whole node into your app's "web.config"
    - Adjust as necessary (settings for length and complexity)

    Just wanted to point out that the password listed above does NOT have any non-alphanumeric characters in it.  That is why it was failing the validation test.

    I've tried this and failed where others appearently succeeded. Exactly where do you place the  <membership>node and its content within the web.config  file

    Right under the <system.web> node, like:


     <system.web>
        <membership>
             <providers>
             <remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"/>
             <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,    Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="true" passwordFormat="Encrypted" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression="" minRequiredPasswordLength="4" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"/>
       </providers>
      </membership>

    hic hic. I spent an hour to find how to config these problem. Open the machine.config, find the blog <membership> and set the "minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters" to zero. The program worked, but i cant understand why when set the "minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters" to a value, the program does not work. Anyone show me why?

    Thanks.

    whe you set it to REQUIRE NON ALFPHA NUMBERIC CHARITORS it will require a nonapha numeric charitor such as ! @ # $ % ^ & * (shift 1-9) along with a capitol letter. That is why when you give that a value of other then Zero it will want a charitor like that

    zero equals off.
