User ID and password requirements

The SAS RAID Module has two separate default user IDs and passwords. The first
default user, USERID, and default password, PASSW0RD (the sixth character is a
zero), is used to access the RAID Controller command line interface. The second
default user, USERID1, and default password, PASSW0RD (the sixth character is a
zero), is used by the IBM Storage Configuration Manager.
The default user IDs cannot be changed. However, you can change the password
for either USERID or USERID1 using the chpassword command in the RAID
Controller command line interface (see "chpasswd" on page 61). The following
rules apply to new passwords:
v Password must contain at least 8 characters
v Password must not exceed 16 characters.
v Password must contain at least one digit (0–9)
v Password must contain at least one alpha character (a-z,A-Z).
