Hello everyone,
The restricted users at my site are first configured to disable their access to change passwords. (following the advice from http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=10973#176076 )
However, I found out that courses (eg. Course A) that do not need a password to enrol refuse to accept the "restricted users" to enter. Moreover, even I gave the "restricted users" the enrollment keys to some other courses (e.g. Course B), the restricted users are not given a screen to key in password or "key". They are simply refused. I double check the situation by removing one student from the restricted user list, and he could then successfully enrol in Courses A and B.
The problem is : all the students at my site are "restricted users". They are NOT allowed to change their passwords. It's our policy. But this year, when we try not to enrol students manually (as such we did in the past) and let them enrol in some selective courses, all of them failed to do so.
Any ideas ?

Now we locked a bit more than was necessary and are waiting for the upgrade to 1.9
