Password Programming Guidelines
1. Do not create passwords that can be easily guessed. Avoid using repeating numbers, such
as 1111 or 2222, or sequential numbers, such as 1234 or 9876.
2. Passwords for each privilege level should be distinct. For example, if you set the
Administrator password to be 6528, you would not want the Programmer or Operator
passwords to be 6527 or 6529.
3. Keep the list of passwords in a secure place. Only permit authorized personnel to access
the password list.
