Hello,

Followed directions, searched forum, pleaded with the server. Can anyone help?

Password Strength

Users are complaining the password strength checking is too strong. How do I change it?
First a warning - Far too many systems out there have weak passwords and they will be broken into. Educating your users on the necessity of strong passwords is the best option. If that fails, here is how you change the password strength checking from 'strong' to 'normal', which was the setting in previous versions of SME. Be careful to use the exact capitalization.

config setprop passwordstrength Users normal
config setprop passwordstrength Ibays normal

It is also possible, but strongly discouraged, to disable password strength checking:

config setprop passwordstrength Users none
config setprop passwordstrength Ibays none
