Usage guidelines
Before you enable a specific password control function, you must first enable the global password control
feature.
The system stops recording history passwords after you execute the undo password-control history
enable command, but it does not delete the prior records.
If the global password control feature is enabled but the minimum password length restriction function is
disabled, a password must contain at least four characters and at least four characters must be different.
Examples
# Enable the password control feature globally.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] password-control enable
# Enable the password composition restriction function.
[Sysname] password-control composition enable
# Enable the password expiration function.
[Sysname] password-control aging enable
# Enable the minimum password length restriction function.
[Sysname] password-control length enable
# Enable the password history function.
