Question: CreateUserWizard - how change "valid" password

[VB Programmer]

Right now, if you use the CreateUserWizard for ASP.NET 2.0 a valid password
is this:

Password length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.

How do I change it so that a valid password does NOT require a
non-alphanumeric character?

Thanks!

You set it in the web.config file if I am not mistaken

<membership defaultProvider="myProvider">
<providers>
<add name="myProvider" connectionStringName="myConnection"
minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="3"
/>
</providers>
</membership>

Isn't connectionStringName, etc... for db related stuff?

I'm just speaking of the built in validator for the password box in the
CreateUserWizard.

Thanks....

Yes, but your membership data usually resides in a database. Please
try the other things and see if it works. The
minRequiredNonAlphaNumericCharacters is what tells the Membership API
not to worry if the password has a non-Aphanumeric character and that
is what you asked for.
