[Solved] Can't seem to change FTP users password...

Running 09 beta... I followed the instructions here to change ftp user password using pure-pw and it seems to work, except I cannot login with the new password... I tried restarting the ftpd although i shouldn't have to. Am I missing something?

Code:

[root@server2 ~]# pure-pw list

sm                  /home/nginx/domains/sm.com/./                    

[root@server2 ~]# pure-pw passwd sm

Password:   xxxx
Enter it again: xxxx

[root@server2 ~]# pure-pw mkdb

This is a new system. I never was able to login previous FTP password since the email was accidentally deleted. Never had the password. Its just not a valid password. After a few attempts to login with what I am sure is the corrrect password CSF/LFD then bans my ip...

 

After playing with it. It seems that WinSCP wasn't able to login but out of desperation I tried FileZilla, and it is working. Went back to WinSCP and its not working. Same password, cut and pasted...

Perhaps one of the special characters in the password are confusing WinSCP. I guess it might be good to note that WinSCP has this issue in case anyone else discovers it. Thanks and sorry to bother...
