I was able to reset password using a much shorter less complex password. I'm guessing there something wrong with long computer passwords.

Thanks for the report 👍

Please can you provide a rough example of the password used?

Epic, thanks. Will run some tests 👍

Hmm, seems fine in v6.18:

• UI login 🈯️
  

@LexiconCode
Password appears fine in our tests, maybe github is converting some chars, please could you place the password you originally used (with some minor changes), on https://pastebin.com?

I'll get back to you as soon as I have access to the system

Checked our encryption system with this password as well:

According to Fourdees test also Pi-hole threats special characters correctly.

@LexiconCode
Sorry that this issue was forgotten btw,
Are you still running into this issue with current version?

In case we need to replicate step-by-step:

• Apply the global password via dietpi-config.
• Check if cat /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-software/.GLOBAL_PW.bin | openssl enc -base64 -d -aes-256-cbc -nosalt -pass pass:'DietPiRocks!' correctly decrypts this password.
• (Re)install Pi-hole and check if the password changed prompt as well shows the correctly decrypted password.
• Check if Pi-hole web UI accepts the password.

I will be able to get to test this some time this coming Tuesday or Wednesday this week. I'll let you know then.
