An error message from Microsoft
I’m indebted to Charlie Harvey for drawing my attention to the following error message courtesy of the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Error Message: Your Password Must Be at Least 18770 Characters and Cannot Repeat Any of Your Previous 30689 Passwords
This error message affects the following MS products:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP1
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP1
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP1
Microsoft’s support for Windows 2000 is now close to running out. Nevertheless, isn’t it reassuring to know that Microsoft is capable of producing such high quality products? 😉
Mind you, some people have difficulty remembering a password of under 10 characters. How could they possibly cope with one of nearly 19,000?
