How *not* to change account passwords in 10.3
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Aug 24, '06 11:10:12PM

The person posting this hint says his original password was nine characters, and he knows that the password field will simply show seven bullet characters no matter how long the password is, but he didn't explicitly say that he also tried entering his full, nine-character password, followed by the ten new characters he added, so I tried that with a test account, and it didn't work either.

For the people wondering whether entering bullet characters in place of a password's actual characters would work: of course it won't--if it did, nobody's password would be worth a damn.
