that would be really surprising. I am most inclined to think that the password change is done via a (buggy) web interface or a buggy script. or maybe it is a PEBCAK? so Tom needs to - reproduce the problem (to confirm the customer claim or to detect the PEBCAK) - describe how exactly the password is changed (what programs are involved) - describe what OS and software is being used.
