I'm ran into a problem with a password.  When I installed dotnetnuke, I entered a password for the admin account that had 25 characters in it.  Later, when I tried changing the password, I received an error message about "There was an error setting the password. The password has not been changed."  There were no exceptions or anything.  After a while, I finally determined that the reason for this is the Current Password field in the password change screen does not take 25 characters.  What parameter controls the length of the password, and why aren't the defaults at least to keep the installation password length consistent with the password change field?  Thanks.

Interesting.  What version of DNN?

There is no "max length" setting for passwords.  There is a "minimum length" setting which is found under:

    ADMIN -> USER ACCOUNTS -> USER SETTINGS

You can also specify minimum password length via "web.config". 


You could enact your own "max password length" restriction by leveraging DNN's support of REGEX validation for passwords. 

See this post for info on easily adding REGEX validation for DNN passwords:

I think the problem is that the TextBox ( input html element)  has a maxlength attribute of 20

Thus the textbox wont allow any more than 20 characters to be input - in IE 7 and FF2 at least.

Seems an oversight (or maybe its intentional) - could anyone comment?

Thank you for shedding light on this issue.  I would think that the ChangePassword textbox should be consistent with the textbox that is presented during installation, so that this issue is less likely to occur.
