After the last update, I was presented with a login mask on the web client. I'm pretty sure I used the right password, but it was denied every time.
So I decided to reset my password. I changed the pash value of my user in the DB to NULL, as it is described in the Server FAQ.
After that, I was able to log in with a blank password. But when I tried to change my (blank) password to a new one, all I got was an error message: "Missing or invalid password or new password". I tried it several times in different browsers. Always the same result.

Do I have to enter something for the current password? I don't know what to do here. I would appreciate a little help. Thank you.
