Bitcoin-Qt wallet passphrase help

3

I do not remember being asked for a passphrase when I installed Bitocoin-Qt (0.8.2 - Beta) (though it was a couple months ago, I could be mistaken) and now am being asked for a passphrase. I have no idea what it is. Can this passphrase be reset? If it cannot, are there restrictions on what can be used for the passphrase (i.e. only letters and numbers) ?

Being asked for a pass-phrase or to set one to encrypt your wallet? Sorry, need to clarify what you're referring to. – user6016 – 2013-07-21T06:16:04.693

No, it cannot be reset. Yes, I believe it can only include letters and numbers.
