Password-Control Length - HP 6125XLG Command Reference Manual

Usage guidelines
When the number of history password records reaches the set maximum number, the subsequent history
record overwrites the earliest one.

command, but it does not delete the prior records. To clear these records, use the undo password-control
enable command to disable the password control feature globally or 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.
