Users are unable to update their passwords when the Password Aging or Force Password Change option comes in to play.  They can login, which takes them to the Password Change screen, but they are unable to successfully change their password and get logged in.

It displays the following error message: "You must enter a valid password. Please check with the Portal Administrator if you do not know the password requirements."

We have validated against multiple user accounts and verified the password complexity requirements in the web.config file as shown below.

<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
     type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" 
         connectionStringName="SiteSqlServer" 
         enablePasswordRetrieval="true" 
         enablePasswordReset="true"
         requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" 
         minRequiredPasswordLength="6" 
         minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1"
         requiresUniqueEmail="false" 
         passwordFormat="Encrypted" 
         applicationName="DotNetNuke" 
         description="Stores and retrieves membership data from the local Microsoft SQL Server database" />

Any ideas regarding why this would not work?

As an update to the original message, changing the minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters to "0" allowed users to successfully change their password. But it will not work if it is set to "1".

Obviously, have stricter complexity requirements for passwords is an important security issue.  Any ideas as to why this might be a problem with my set up would be helpful.

Thanks,
Gary
