Password considerations

For security reasons, it is recommended that you use a strong password that cannot be easily compromised.

Note

  • The System Setup Utility passwords are case sensitive.

  • The server supports System Setup Utility passwords that consist of up to twenty characters.

To set a strong password, use the following guidelines:

  • The password can only contain the following characters (no white-space characters allowed): A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ~`!@#$%^&*()-+={}[]|:;"'<>,?/.\_

  • Contain at least one alphabetic character and one numeric character

  • Contain at least two of the following combinations:

    • At least one upper-case letter

    • At least one lower-case letter

    • At least one special character

  • No more than two consecutive occurrences of the same character

  • Must be at least eight characters if it does not select other value in “Minimum password length” option.
