Setting Global Password Control Parameters - HP 6125G Configuration Manual

When global password control is enabled but the minimum password length restriction function is
•
disabled, the minimum password length is four characters, and the password must have at least four
different characters.
• When global password control and the minimum password length restriction function are both
enabled, the minimum password length is that configured by the password-control length length
command.
About password history control:
When global password control is disabled, or when global password control is enabled but the
•
password history control is disabled, the device does not record history passwords and allows a
user to set a new password the same as a previously used one.
When global password control and password history control are both enabled, the system records
•
history passwords for users. When a user changes the password, the system compares the new
password against the history passwords and the current password. The new password must be
different from the used ones by at least four characters and the four characters must not be the same.
Otherwise, the user will fail to change the password.
