Hi,
Just tried this on an version 8.1.00 patch 002 server using Mid-Tier and a
7.6.04 SP5 ARUser.exe.
In ARUser.exe it worked fine to do a Modify-All and set the password to $NULL$.
In Mid-Tier it also worked fine to do a Modify-All and typing in $NULL$ in the
password field.
So if this does not work, it seems that patching/upgrading should do the trick.
I am quite sure that this is a client thing.
I have never encountered this NOT working though, but I have not tried it much
on Mid-Tier.
