Password guidelines

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you follow these password guidelines when you create and update user
accounts.
• When working with passwords:
◦ Do not write down or record passwords.
◦ Do not share passwords with others.
◦ Do not use passwords that are made up of words found in a dictionary.
◦ Do not use passwords that contain obvious words, such as the company name, product name, user name, or login name.
◦ Change passwords regularly.
◦ Keep the iLO default credentials in a safe place.
• Use strong passwords with at least three of the following characteristics:
◦ At least one uppercase ASCII character
◦
At least one lowercase ASCII character
◦ At least one ASCII digit
◦ At least one other type of character (for example, a symbol, special character, or punctuation).
If you enable the Password complexity setting on the Access Settings page, iLO enforces these password characteristics
when you create or edit a user account.
• The minimum length for a user account password is set on the Access Settings page. Depending on the configured
Minimum Password Length value, the password can have a minimum of zero characters (no password) and a maximum of
39 characters. The default Minimum Password Length is eight characters.
