Ugh. This is such a stupid #password dialog for #Dell #idrac.

If you have less than 8 characters, it tells you to use "at least 8". If you have 8 characters, it is happy. If you type 9 characters it tells you that you have too many characters.

You must have exactly 8. No more. No less.

@paco Wow. In iDRAC 8 on my R530, it's even more fucky.

Enter a long password? The text box just... stops accepting characters after the eighth one.

Enter a short password? No error message. Nice. But try to connect to iDRAC over VNC, and it just closes the connection.

Either way, once you hit Apply, the page reloads with the password and confirm boxes empty. Did you set a password and forget? Who knows!

Someone tried to "fix" this, and came up with the Angry Red Text version. Well done.
