Usage guidelines
When the number of history password records reaches the maximum number, the subsequent
history record overwrites the earliest one.
The system stops recording passwords after you execute the undo password-control history
enable command, but it does not delete the prior records.
To delete the existing records, use one of the following methods:
•
Use the undo password-control enable command to disable the password control feature
globally.
•
Use the reset password-control history-record command to clear the passwords manually.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of history password records for each user to 10.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] password-control history 10
