:-( I am running SME 7.2 and it works great so far (only been running for about 1 week). I did a restore from a 7.1 SME box. I had set password strength for Users to NONE. Now that I have changed to 7.2 it is requiring 7 character passwords again. I went throught the same proceedure to set them to NONE on the 7.2 box, but it still requires 7 characters. Anybody got any idea why this is happening? How do I fix it? I can show password strength and it says Users=none.

But not recommended, you could cause problems at a latter date.

It doesn't need fixing, what you see is correct behaviour. None means a minimum length 7 character password that is not tested.
