Okay!
I tried ONE more time ... it turns out my PW entry was just fine, it was the entry for the Security Question, I was answering for the name of my High School --- which happened to be LONGER than the 16 character maximum FOR the security question.
So I chose a different question, that for me had an answer between the 6 and 16 character limit!
And the program accepted the PW!
Yeah!!!
