Foreign characters in security question not accepted?

I'm sure you guys are very busy with this issue, and I hate to add to the pile, but it appears that if a security question answer has a foreign character it is being rejected as invalid.

A dear friend is from Sweden and his security answer was comprised of the name of a local city. He has now been locked out until Monday after providing the correct answer because the nonstandard character ( ö ) wasn't recognized.

It accepted his answer when setting up his account. I'm not sure if anything can be done, but we had to try.. 3 days without SL is an eternity!

We did add multi-character support to the password form yesterday afternoon, as soon as we realized it was missing. Please have your friend try to reset his password again here.
