MobileMe Password Policy Change Breaks Find My iPhone

Changes made today by Apple to the password requirements for access to MobileMe have caused problems accessing MobileMe’s Find My iPhone service. It appears that a change in the policy have meant users whose passwords no longer meet the complexity requirements ( 8 characters with one number and one upper/lower case character ) were unable to able access to Find My iPhone.

To correct the problem and enable access all you have to do is go to the iTunes store, and create a new stronger password. Open iTunes and click on the iTunes Store, then click on your Apple ID ( at the top right of the iTunes window ).Your Apple account information should be displayed, click on the Edit button next to your Apple ID then on the following screen create a new password and click Done. You should find that once you have done this you can now login to the Find My iPhone service ( either the iPhone app or through the http://www.me.com site )
