I am trying to use the Personal website Template. I am working with the Web Application site at this point. However I am having some problems creating an acceptable Password. I keep getting this error code, (Password
length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1). I have tried many combination to no success. I have come to the conclusion that there must be something else that I am missing.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated!
I have tried combinations like pipwax1 justin1P and many more correct me if I am wrong The tow passwords mentioned here should qualify as having meet the criteria.

Try adding one of the following characters ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + to what you have already entered.
Also the default settings for the Membership provider (it is what handles your login settings) is setup this way to offer a better level of security by making users enter a stronger password than most users would make.

hi
yes , this is the deafult membership settings... it doesnt allow a password less than 7 characcters.....
however , you can change this settings , in wen.config file , you can set the membership configuration as follows:
<membership defaultProvider="SqlMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15"> <providers> <clear /> <add name="SqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" passwordFormat="Clear" minRequiredPasswordLength="1" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" /> </providers> </membership>if you already have this settings , just add the following
if you want to store the password as clear text : passwordFormat="Clear"
to set the minimum required password length( this allow 1 cahracter password ) :minRequiredPasswordLength="1"
to set the number of minum allowed non alpha... ( this will make it unrequired at all) : minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
