hi when trying to create account in numeric value i m getting this error message....if there is any module or update or if it is possible to do it by editing and config file pls help me

""Operation status report
The account name "002" contains invalid characters. Account names must start with a lower case letter and contain only lower case letters, numbers, and hyphens.
""
i want to use 002 and other numeric character as a user name because my all clients have this type of account..

Set the accounts up as u005, u007 etc and then set a numeric pseudonym to each account.

It may be true, but I can't think offhand of a good reason for the restriction. Please raise it in the bug tracker - thanks.
