Invalid password issues

[coleeliz78]

I am going around in circles trying to set up a new password so I can login to MVM account and change the parental settings.  Everything over 7 charcaters is invalid but it says between 8 and 64! Really frustrating - please can someone reset my password so I can access this please.  I have used password generators too - still not worked

VM a/c Password has the following criteria:

Must start with a letter.
Be between 8-10 characters.
Contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter.
Contain at least one number.
No special characters.

I'd suggest :

Virus Safe - Enabled
Child Safe - Disabled   ( if Enabled expect to block  Teleconf Platforms  / Social Media / Messenger apps / Office VPN / Online Games etc etc ... )

Hey @coleeliz78,

Firstly welcome to the Community Forums and thanks for the post.

Sorry to hear you are having an issue setting up a new password, what @Client62 has advised are the password requirements, has trying this helped rectify the issue?

Cheers. Joe

Afraid not - I have tried really random passwords.  As soon as I go to 8 characters is says invalid.  It also stated 8-64 and not 8-10 which doesn't make sense.

The password criteria posted by Client62 are out of date.  

Virgin Media's password policy is:

8 to 64 characters
can only contain alphanumerical characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and the following additional characters !@#&*_
must contains at least one letter and numerical character

Thank you - the issue is that when I go from 7 to 8 characters (and I’ve tried every combination) it says invalid.

Hello, I am having the same issue where I'm going in circles to change my email password. It keeps saying that it's invalid even though I'm meeting the password criteria.

Please assist.
