In chapter 10 it has appointment booking program. I can't get pass the "signup" screen because of password error. I have created a valid user and password but when I try to go in a book a conference room it does not reconize my password as valid. My error is Password length minimum:. 7 , nonalphanumeric characters required:
Ran out of things to try. I purchased this book at the book store just for this project.
Please help.

What do you enter as the password? Numbers are *not* non-alpha numeric so you need to use characters like !@#$%^&*( as well.

Also, where do you get this error? You said you created a user but the error message only occurs when you try to create a user; not when logging in...

My error occurs on the "Sign up for an Account with the Appointment Booking System" screen . My password is "wiggles1$", but I still get the error.

Strange; It shouldn't be like that (and isn't the case with my version).

How did you set up the application? Did you make any modifications? Do you access the Sign Up papge directly? What happens when you use an extremely complex password?

Thank you, I am in. But now I get the message. I did get an e-mail for the confirmation of activating my account. When I went into the link that was given I get the following:
"An error occured while activating your account". Any suggestions on where to go next?
Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

Are you sure the link in the e-mail is correct for your production server? Try removing the Try Catch block and see what error you get. Maybe the Guid in the query string was cut off, or maybe some other error occurred.

Cheers,
