Description
I was trying to set admin user passwords of the form "iodjf-oisdfj-123-oijdfs!-dsiofjs" with about 25 total chars
and after working once or twice the password for the user would then revert to the previous password.
Are these characters not allowed/expected in user passwords?
How was it able to revert to the previous password -
was the password not really changed on disk? If so why
did web login with the new password work at least once
or twice?
Passwords of the form doifjs34iojdsf324oijdfoi324 work fine.

all characters are supported and work. Only way it reverts back is if the entire config reverts back, which would be for unrelated reasons. No bug as described, please post to our forum or mailing list for assistance.
