Description Unknown 2002-06-04 19:11:16 UTC 
After downloading and installing OpenOffice.org 1.0 (which went very smoothly), 
I registered and received the following email msg: "The openoffice.org password 
for the user 'jonathanmrich' is:
qFrK!dR."  (No quotes in msg.)  After trying to login unsuccessfully several 
times I tried pasting the password directly from the email into the form. This 
worked only after I inadvertently included the period (.) at the end of the 
sentence.

Hi,
Unclear exactly what you would like to happen: to eliminate the 
"." from any password generation? I doubt that can easily be 
done. What it would require is for an issue to be filed as a 
specific enhancement request of CollabNet's product, 
SourceCast, which provides the infrastructure for 
OpenOffice.org. then CN would have to evaluate it and if it found 
it meritorious, implement it. All this would use up valuable 
engineer resources... etc. 

However, if it were the case of you wanting to *change* your 
password: you can easily do so by logging in , going to your start 
page, and then clicking on "edit profile". the rest is fairly self-
explanatory.
hope this helps,
closing; reopen if necessary
louis

As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved
<wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for
details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
