I was asked to enter an eight character password. I entered snow white and the seven dwarfs. It was rejected. :roll:

Maybe you needed to mix alpha and numeric, and cap and lower case, try:

Having worked for IBM for many years teaches you literally to think outside the box... :mrgreen:

Not only working for IBM for many years, RBS. Probably due to your Irish upbringing you understand irony. (For those who aren't aware of irony I believe it is first recorded as being used by Socrates in ancient Greece.) The password joke is a classic piece of irony. :)
