Bug Description
Passwords must be at least 8 characters and contain an uppercase letter. This is public knowledge.
I have twice now had to reset my password because I couldn't remember the one I used for launchpad. The reason I couldn't remember it is because I don't normally use uppercase letters in passwords.
A simple solution to this problem is: On the login page (or perhaps the incorrect password page), state that the password much contain 8 letters and at least one uppercase letter. THIS DOES NOT COMPROMISE SECURITY IN ANY WAY AT ALL! But it would have provided me with enough information to remember what password I had used.

I am assigning this to the Registry project as Curtis is actively looking for his team to clean up the login pages (see this thread for the discussion: https:/ /lists. launchpad. net/launchpad- dev/msg04761. html)
