Re: NT4 password limited to 14 characters ?

Hi,

Yes I have already tried that but with no success (bouhoouhooou :D).

I have also tried to change the password through a 2000 client member of the domain (so without the UI limitation) but the problem remains.

It's really an NT4 limitation but what is strange is that we don't find anywhere on Microsoft website a sentence saying "You can't set up a password of more than 14 characters".

Thanks for your help !
What I'd do is setting up extra long password on Windows 2003 domain controller and authenticating using NT - resulting in local cached credentials; then I'd try to log on with any other password :)

Alternatively, I'd use Windows 2003 tools to manage NT system. This is just to avoid the UI limitations that some tools may have.

Hi,

sorry for my poor english but what does "Do experiment" mean please ? :D It means "make some tests" ?

Because it is what I already did with no success :D

It doesn't seem that NT allows long passwords if we try to set up them via usrmgr,Dameware or net user command

Thanks
