ASP.NET 2.0 Membership problem

[Joe Gilkey]

I am trying to create an application using ASP.NET 2.0 which takes
advantage of the new Membership features (I am using Visual Web
Developer Beta 2). I created a default database on SQL Server 2000
using aspnet_regsql -W on my machine. After following the setup
instructions, I am unable to create a new user. I keep getting the
"Please enter a different password." error on the Create User screen
(ASP.NET Web site admin tool). I have tried numerous types of
passwords, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

By default they have enabled stronger password validation:

Check out section "3.1.5 ASP.NET Membership Enforces Password Strength Requirements"

Thanks for the help, just one question, what are the possible values
for "passwordStrengthRegularExpression"?

Well, since it's not documented yet I can't say with certainty, but I can
make an educated guess. It's the regular expression that password must match
to be accepted as a password for the membership provider.
