And not all symbols are allowed. As I recall there isn't a separate error message for every possible error with the password (meaning length may not be the actual issue). http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/htmlhelp/list%20owners/IntrototheWebInterface.html#2355489 "The password must be at least 6 characters. It can be any alpha numeric combination (A-Z, 0-9, and any case). You can also use certain special characters, including $, #, @, _, -, ?, !, |, and %." If you are replacing an existing password (or don't know if you have an existing password) the better command is PW REP xxxxxxx ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-PEACH.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1
