Re: password glitches

["Don McGorman" <mcgormd@hotmail.com>]

I could not change my initial password a few weeks ago and Dan had to log on as some kind of super-user to fix.  I believe that my initial password was itself 'illegal' (too short,  only four charaters) so, while I could connect to the network with it, the password change program refused to accept it.

I ended up with a new six character password that begins with a number, ends with a number.
