Password guidelines

HP recommends that you follow these password guidelines:

Passwords should:

Never be written down or recorded

Never be shared with others

Not be words found in a dictionary

Not be obvious words, such as the company name, product name, user name, or login
name

Passwords should have at least three of the following characteristics:

One numeric character

One special character

One lowercase character

One uppercase character

Depending on the Minimum Password Length setting on the Access Settings page, 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.

IMPORTANT:

HP does not recommend setting the Minimum Password Length to fewer than eight

characters unless you have a physically secure management network that does not extend outside
the secure data center. For information about setting the Minimum Password Length, see

“Configuring access options” (page 40)
