How *not* to change account passwords in 10.3
Authored by: tyip on Aug 24, '06 12:55:01PM

Did you try:

Go back to System Preferences > Accounts page.
In the seven bullets in the Password field, type in the text you had appended to make the new password. You now have 17 bullets in that field. Copy all 17 bullets and then paste it into the password field and see if that works.

The main log in panel does not allow pasting into the password field but my sparseimage in 10.3.9 does.

Good luck and let us know what works.
