This looks like an issue in AccountManagerPlugin, brought about by the recent unicode merges in trunk.

Did your username contain characters oustide 7 bit ASCII?

[Alec Thomas]

I've fixed this on TracHacks by nuking an account in the password file that had unicode characters. See #250.

Errormessage on Windows
Used no char's outside 7Bit-ASCII. Directory /dev/urandom could be the error.

Oops...
Trac detected an internal error: 
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/urandom'If you think this really should work and you can reproduce it. Then you should consider to report this problem to the Trac team. 

Go to http://trac.edgewall.com/ and create a new ticket where you describe the problem, how to reproduce it. Don't forget to include the python traceback found below.

[Matt Good]

Motte: your problem is unrelated to this ticket. Htpasswd is not supported on Windows due to a lack of method for generating cryptographically sound random data. See #63.

[Matt Good]

(In [1069]) support unicode usernames and passwords (fixes #229)

[Matt Good]

The unicode support was added on the trunk for Trac 0.10 support now that all Trac uses unicode natively.
