Windows 8 installed very nicely for me (triple boot: Windows 7; Ubuntu 11.10; Windows 8). Since this is a home computer, I used a simple six-character password. Things seemed to be going well. I installed Office, got mail working, etc.
Then I left the machine unattended for a couple of hours. It apparently went into a sleep mode. My password stopped working. I rebooted with no luck. Finally, I changed the password, but the system would not allow me to use a simple password. After several trials, I found one that works.
What are the restrictions on passwords? (These should be prominently stated somewhere.)
Why did the installer accept a simple one, but the installed system will not? Why did the system "kill" my password?
