 * I am having a real problem with my password! WordPress back end would not allow
   me access to my website admin panel with **my current password**. It **forced**
   me to reset my password to a ridiculously long password. It wouldn’t let me reset
   the password without it being over 20 characters long with a mixture of special,
   alpha numeric string.
 * I am all about security… but when I can’t get into my own site because it doesn’t
   feel my current password is strong enough, this bothers me!
 * This just happened today, is anyone else being effected by this?

 * is this a wordpress.com site or your own hosted site?
 * If it is a wordpress.com site, you need to go to their forums. If it is yor own
   hosted site, do you have a security plugin installed?
