In Password Configuration, enter the number of passwords that will be remembered. This is the 
password history, which discourages password reuse and ensures that the new password has not 
been used within the specified number of previous password changes. Default is 5. With a setting 
of 5, the new password could not have been used within the last 5 password changes.  

 

Select either Regular, Random, or Strong for the admin and status (if enabled) passwords.  

These are standard, yet a fairly weak password system. 
Passwords have to be longer than 4 characters with few 
restrictions.  This is the system default password configuration.  

Provides randomly-generated passwords. Configure the 
maximum password size in bits (minimum is 14, maximum is 
70, default is 20) and number of retries (default is 10), which is 
the number of times you will be asked if you want to accept the 
new password. You can either accept (by typing in the new 
password twice) or reject the random password.  You cannot 
select your own password. 

Enforce strong passwords. Retries is the number of times you are 
prompted before an error message is issued. DiffOK means how 
many characters can be the same in the new password relative to 
the old. MinLEN is the minimum length of characters required in 
the password. Specify how many Digits, Upper-case letters, 
Lower-case letters, and Other (special) characters are required in 
the password.  Positive numbers indicate the maximum amount 
of “credit” of this character class can be accrued towards the 
“simplicity” count.  Negative numbers implies that the password 
MUST have at least that many characters from this given class. 
Thus, numbers of -1 means that every password must have at 
least one digit in it.
