Manual Password Change
A user can change the System Mode password or any GID password from the
Passwords submenu in System Mode. The user must choose a password at least
five characters long and no more than ten characters long.
If the user attempts to enter a new password less than five characters long, the
OS will sound a beep and the screen will display an error message (see
25):
SYS MODE PASSWORD_G1
ERROR: PASSWORD MUST
BE 5 TO 10 CHARACTERS
Figure 25 Error message for insufficient password length
To return to the New Password prompt, press ENTER. Re-enter the new
password, and then press ENTER. To abort the password change, press
CANCEL.
If the user attempts to enter more than ten characters for the new password, the
password will be set to the first ten characters entered.
Download Password Change
A user can set the System Mode password or any GID password by downloading
a Password Change parameter from any download server (VeriCentre, DDL, or
customer-developed server).
If the downloaded password is at least five characters long and no more than ten
characters long, the OS will accept the new password.
If the downloaded password is more than ten characters long, the OS will truncate
the downloaded password to the first ten characters and will accept the new
truncated password.
If the downloaded password is less than five characters long, the OS will accept
the new password. The OS will initially accept the new "short" password, but the
next time an operation is performed where the password is required, the user will
be prompted to change the password to a valid password before the requested
operation can be performed.
