Money 2005 decided earlier today to stop accepting the memorized password
attached to it (I'm the only person using this machine). It appears that
I'd accidentally updated/replaced the password when I recently acquired
broadband access and MSN, thereby converting to a Windows Live ID from the
prior Passport one.
So I went through the process of resetting the password via the Web. Well
and good, or so I thought.
Except -- I created a password that the Web system classed as Strong (thus,
not all the characters are alphanumeric), and when I typed *that* into the
Money 2005 sign-in form, I got an error message indicating that Money 2005
passwords can't have special characters in them.
Obviously I can use Money in "Work Offline" mode, but is there any way to
reconcile the conflict without resetting (and weakening) the password again?
