ASP.NET 2.0 VB: Turning off the Nonalphanumeric validator for password change

[Steve Kiss]

Hello. I'm developping a website which contains a page to Change A Users Password. In the web.config, I have the following settings for my membership provider:

minRequiredPasswordLength="2"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"

If I input an invalid password, i get the following message:
Password incorrect or New Password invalid.
New Password length minimum: 2.
Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.

The important point is it still says you need 1 non-alphanumeric character.
Is there any way of turning off the Nonalphanumeric validator?

Have you tried setting maxRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters or RequiredNonalphanumericCharacters to false?

I found the solution by changing the ChangePasswordFailureText property in asp:ChangePassword. Otherwise, even if you set the number of aphanumeric characters to 0, it will still give you an error message that specifies you need 1 alphanumeric character.

Thanx for sharing the solution :).
