RESOLVED:Password Change: Can no longer login through client

[merkin]

Seems weird, today I wasn't able to login to the website. So I did a password reset and created a new password. Now when I try to login to the client I get a Invalid Username/Password. I've tried the generated password that was sent to me and the newly updated password that I created.

I've also re-downloaded the client, ran as administrator and unchecked the read-only option on the game folder.

Genisaurus:
try changing your password again to something all lowercase. No numbers, no "special characters," just the 26 characters in the English latin alphabet.

Edit: Jump to the thread for a fix that worked for me. This fix was recommended by an official developer here at RoR.

Edit: I've put together this Google Document of the English alphabet for those that may need it.

Any password changes take some time before they up date on the game server.

Ok, thank you, figured it may be cached.

edit: How long does this usually take? 5-10 minutes?

Update for those having a similiar issue:

It's been more than a few days. Do NOT! change your password. Even if you're going through some security risk issues (sarcasm). Do not change your password.

Bump..

Same issue here, changed password aswell - Do I really have to wait untill a server restart?

Seriously; if this is the case I'm gonna need my first password emailed or PM'ed to me or whatever - This is a big problem :/

Update: Well we received a reply back from a developer at the listed URL below. It actually requires you to change your password lol. However, with no numbers (weird my 2nd account uses several numbers and capital letters), and the letters need to be all lowercase letters.

I've done that and now I'm just waiting on a server restart since I was still having the same issue.

Last Update: It seems that following Genisaurus advice on another thread listed below seems to have worked. I still needed to wait for a few hours before that change took effect. One very minor side-effect was that I wasn't able to login to the forums for quite some time to update you on the progress.
