I am using microsoft web developer express beta a to try our the new features
of asp.net 2.0. When working with the the createuserwizard control, I found
it always showed a "select a different password" message when I try to add a
user. The passwordregularexpression property is empty by default, I also
tried to change it to some simple form like [a-z]+, but nothing works. Since
the control is a black box, I have no ideas of why it treats the password
supplied as invalid. Any one experienced this before?

By default they have enabled stronger password validation:

Check out section "3.1.5 ASP.NET Membership Enforces Password Strength Requirements"

If you enter a strong password it will work.
Combine letters, numbers & symbols.

Hello Boyan,

Of course, you could continue to tell your users to enter a password with
lots of restrictions...

or...

Change the way users logon to your app by changing a few config items in the
web.config file.

    <membership defaultProvider="OurMembershipProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear/>
        <add
            name="OurMembershipProvider"
            type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
            connectionStringName="OurStoreConnection"
            applicationName="/"
            enablePasswordRetrieval="True"
            enablePasswordReset="True"
            passwordFormat="Encrypted"
            requiresQuestionAndAnswer="False"
            maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="10"
            minRequiredPasswordLength="1"
            minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
            passwordAttemptWindow="10"
            passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""
            requiresUniqueEmail="false"
            />
      </providers>
    </membership>

Hope this helps!

Jeff
