Per a post on vbulletin.org, this should get most users to change their password.

Please use a strong password with at least one number and uppercase character. Don't reuse it on another site.

Thanks for the info. I changed my password. What happens when someone doesn't change their password in time? Do they still have a chance to get back in?
