Well, you got to realize that the password isn't just something to restrict access, it's the key that's used to encrypt everything. So changing the password would mean that TB would be rather unresponsive for quite some time, even longer than a full purge and compress as there are more things to re-encrypt and if anything goes wrong (like a user who kills TB, because he thinks it got stuck), you end with a mess that can't be decoded again. So Ritlabs simply decided that you cannot change the password. Of course there was a way around that, but doing things that can't be done usually are a bit troublesome. -- Groetjes, Roelof It's not a bug.
