To improve security, we will soon start forcing password resets for any account that uses a weak password on the next login. If you have a weak password or a defunct email, please update it now to prevent future disruption.
Oops, didn't get a reply notification so I didn't see this until now. Ultimately I used DebugRags.exe that I found elsewhere on f95 to edit the values successfully. I'm not sure why it worked with that but not with this method, but that's how it worked out. Thanks for your help.
