Hello,
By any chance are you using Win 95 OSR2 when you try to change the
password? OSR2 (for some reason known only to M$) uppercases all
clear-text passwords it sends. I haven't tried the password changing
routine yet, but my guess is it also uppercases them. I think I've heard
that if you are using encrypted passwords then this problem doesn't occur.
Best,
Sean
