I just bought a hosted Windows 2016 server, and the only access I have to it right now is a god-awfull java-based KVM-interface.
In order to sign in, I need to enter my password, then I am prompted to change my password (first login) - and then I am presented with this screen:
It seems that no matter what I enter on this screen, I get told passwords do not match.
The top field labeled "Password" is pre-filled with a number of characters that corresponds to the current (initial) password.
Here is what I have tried:
- In the "New password" field at the bottom, I have entered the current password again. => Passwords do not match.
- I have tried clearing the top field and entering a new password, which I repeat in the below field. => Passwords do not match. I guarantee what I entered matched, and I tried several times. I tried 1234 as password, even clicked the little "reveal password" eye to see it was entered as expected - still got "The passwords you entered did not match". I also tried password that match the requirements.
What am I missing here?
