Comment 18 for bug 400851

Hi,

I was using Ubuntu 64 - 10.10 in my HP laptop lately... Not problem, I installed Kubuntu 10.10 again ;)

So I do have now three OS: Ubuntu and Kubuntu 10.10 (and... Windows Vista 64 for playing some non-Linux-games-yet, from time to time).

In the fresh Kubuntu 64 10.10, KDE 4.5.1 install, I firstly have arranged for a "normal" password (only letters and numbers without symbols and shorter than 8 characters long).

Then, I have changed my password to a whopping 28 characters long one, mixing letters (uppercase and lowercase) and numbers with ASCII symbols like: @, $, (, >, =, ], or {.

The "complicated" passwords now work just nice in Kubuntu using KDE 4.5.1.

Finally, I have updated KDE to 4.6.0 and, then, for this time I have arranged for another "just" 15 characters long password, including also some non-ASCII, like: ñ, Ñ, ç, Ç, ¡ or ¿ (from my Spanish keyboard).

Despite the warning message about setting-up a password more than 8 characters long (displayed both in KDE 4.5.1 and in the 4.6.0 version), the new mixed passwords are now accepted and confirmed (in both quoted KDE versions).

Then it also work OK all kinds of passwords I have set-up for authenticating the administrative tasks.

I just have to say a BIG Thanks.
