I have a clean/new install of 7.0pre3.
having added a new user I needed to reset the password
Create, modify, or remove user accounts ERROR
Operation status report
ERROR: There was an error in the validation of this page. Please scroll down and find the specific problem.
Reset user password
The password you provided was not a good password. A good password must contain all of the following: upper case letter, lower case letter, number, non-alphanumeric character, be at least 7 characters long.
no matter what I entered as a password the system always came back with the same error
any ideas?

Does your password meet all of those criteria? If so, please raise this in the bug tracker. And see here:

Gordonr,
your link helped, turns out that my 'user' password did not meet the 'strong' requirments.
personally I find it to be "overkill" for a user to have to have a 'strong' password.

The error message you pasted showed the same information.

The option is there to reduce the system security. However, we are seeing a lot of attacks via SSH on weak passwords so the default must be as secure as possible.
