Kynan - I checked and it is indeed 10 characters (10 bullets).  I 
must have just 'guessed' 9.
Thanks for the explanation of why it is 10 long, even though no 
password I have ever used is 10 characters long.   Solves that 
puzzle.....

I cannot get the iDisk to mount (cmd-shift-I) because the password I 
enter there presumably does not match with what is in Internet 
Preferences.

The Keychain does not show a recent iTools password.   There is 
no.mac password entry.
