Re: Retrieve System i user's password?

["Bill Meecham" <bmeecham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

that fails.  

no special character
repeated letters

and when it expires in less than 90 days you have to use completely different letters in each position.

how about based on month, alphabet and keyboard position.  So:


Jan = A1!
Feb = B2@
Mar = C3#
Apr = D4$
May = E5%
Jun = F6^
Jul = G7&
Aug =  H8*
Sep =  I9(
Oct = J10)
Nov = K11!
Dec = L12@

  long password support?  make your password something you won't 
  forget...like for example:

  thisisreally1stoopidfrickingpassword

  should be fairly easy to remember 8^)
