Perhaps this is the problem: Roller now defaults to storing passwords in the database in an emcrypted format. So, if you are upgrading an older version of Roller and you went with the default setting for encrypted passwords, which was off by default, then you'll need to set this propery in your roller-custom.properties file: passwds.encryption.enabled=false (that is from the 4.0 RC6 installation guide) - Dave
