I changed my password and can now log into the admin interface. An Application running on the server (Meeting maker html client) generated the following error in catalina.log when I tried to log in using a password starting with £ java.lang.InternalError: Password (?password) corrupted by formatting: changed = 1/1/70 12:00:00 AM (0x7c25b080), salt = [20] 0x0273a7912e4e8d78b627aeab52a01d60a7f86626, data = [31] 0x09125c6458faefae7e9d2e032355f8d81d1de628adc7501570649dacaa287a, flags = hF,hn (0x3880), text = "?password" catalina.out:16:08:21 ERROR [http-8080-Processor35] Common - Logging error 10001 for exception java.lang.InternalError: Password (?password) corrupted by formatting: changed = 1/1/70 12:00:00 AM (0x7c25b080), salt = [20] 0x0273a7912e4e8d78b627aeab52a01d60a7f86626, data = [31] 0x09125c6458faefae7e9d2e032355f8d81d1de628adc7501570649dacaa287a, flags = hF,hn (0x3880), text = "?password" the password ?password should read £password Is there a lang setting I've missed somewhere? I guess there's a UTF-8 / iso-8859-1 incompatibility?
