The problem is, ive been using cwp for long while now and usernames weren't limited back then. Now with the updates, these existing users are hosed because of the new limitation

It is better to cut the user names to less than 8 characters, so you do not have problems.
but you will have problems later

Exactly, but this wasn't a requirement back when the user was created over a year ago.. the system currently limits the new account creation to 8 chars, but the old accounts that are over 8 are locked up when it comes to trying to get in to the client panel. I can change the username if there was a way to do so.. that's what I need help on
