Can Not Change Password

[CrYpTiC_MauleR]

Starting to do my password changing for all my online accounts and tried to change my password for the forum but it keeps coming up with error saying my current password is wrong. I have typed my password out in a text editor and copied and pasted it exactly and it still wont let me change my password since my current one to verify the change is coming up as incorrect. Has anyone else has this same issue or is it just my account or problem at my end?

So um is anyone else having this same problem? I still can not change my password. I have tried on 2 different computers and still my password is coming up as incorrect even though its the same one I use to login.

whoops. Sorry for the delay. My New Q notifs are wanky and I just noticed this.
I will give it a try and get back to you.

I can't do it either.

 The following errors occured when trying to save your profile:

    * The password you entered was not correct.
    * Your password must be at least 8 characters long..

That's strange, when I logged out and then back in, it needed the new password.

I had Rod change my password for me since if an admin changes an account pass it doesn't ask for current password (btw thanks Rod). He changed it to something with a-z 0-9 chars and I was able to successfully change my password then. So it seems having special chars in your password does prevent you from changing your password.

I wish I had the free time to upgrade ERT, but school is just nothing but most of my time, and the upgrade will take a few days to prepare and test before going green. I am crossing my fingers for the chance to do it after finals, but will have to see if my schedule will be free at the time. =o(

>> ...having special chars in your password...

Something you forgot to mention earlier.   : p

Good Luck on your test

When/if you do get around to futzing with the upgrade, see if you can figure out why I keep losing my notifs after the first few. I didn't get one for your last post.   : /

I'm not getting notifs at all.  Haven't tried changing my password but I did change my email , thinking that was the problem.  Still no notifs.  Who gets the cron reports?

Probably Cd& and/or Rod.
