Hello,
since I prefer to use passwordFormat="Encrypted" instead of "Hashed" DNN7 default, I need to change each user password format, otherwise when I try to change a user password, I got this error:

There was an error setting the password. The password has not been changed.

an exception is thrown:

DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Users.Password - System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: Hashed passwords cannot be decoded.
at System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider.UnEncodePassword(String pass, Int32 passwordFormat)
at System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider.GetPassword(String username, String passwordAnswer)
at WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleMembershipProvider.GetPassword(String username, String answer)
at System.Web.Security.MembershipUser.GetPassword()
at DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.AspNetMembershipProvider.ChangePassword(UserInfo user, String oldPassword, String newPassword)
at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.ChangePassword(UserInfo user, String oldPassword, String newPassword)
at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Users.Password.cmdUpdate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

The users created AFTER the passwordFormat change, have no issue in password change.

Does anyone knows how to change password format for each existing user?

Thanks

Hi cathal,

when I wrote the post, I had new install of 7.1.1. And I wrote a script in order to convert to encrypt format for each user. Now, I deleted instance and installed 7.1.2. My suprise has been that in this case the token for password reset does not work. The page says that there is no corrispondence between user and token, or token is expired. But I have seen in sql tables that expiration date is 24 hours after token creation and the username is written correctly.

 ...very confused.
