VWDeveloper 2005 / Password error message

Hello! I installed the VWDeveloper 2005. Started the Personal Web Site Starter Kit and ran this a few times. When trying to create an administrative user (Web Site Menu -> ASP.Net Configuration -> Security), it says (in dutch, translated in english it is about as follows:) Minimal password length: 7. Non-alfanumeric signs demanded: 1. But whatever entered, conforming to these rules, this error-message keeps coming. Help is really appreciated.

VWDeveloper 2005 / Password error message

The default configuration for password using the new login controls is to set the passwords to strong, with means that you need to have a password greater then 7 characters and have alpha numeric characters inside. To change this you can change it at the machine level by editing the machine.config file in the .Net directory inside the windows directory... or you can do it at application level by adding some configuration information to the main app.config file for your website.

If you have any more questions on this you can post in the security groups on http://forums.asp.net, or do a quick search on MSDN for Membership roles in ASP.Net 2.0

There are some settings that you can add to the web config file for your web application that will change the security settings. these settings can be changed in the machine config, which will change the complete machines defaults, or in the web config file for you app which will only change the settings in your application.

But... Web development questions need to be asked in the http://forums.asp.net as this is where the asp teams hang out. If you at the quoted message I have also left a link to the security forums on the asp.net site where the membership questions should be asked.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the response. On second thoughts, before getting that far, how do I

Run the site at least once before proceeding

Creating an Administrative User

The first step you must take is to create an administrative user. The administrative user has permission to upload photos and create albums.

To create an administrative user

1. Run the site at least once before proceeding. This ensures the initialization of the Membership and Roles databases.

Thanks for your help,

It suddenly ran right, don't know why. Tried entering passwords that supposed to meet the criteria but were nevertheless not accepted. After trying about 25 times it suddenly got accepted.
