• The password must contain at least two kinds of the following characters: numeric character, special character, upper case characters, or lower case characters.
• Enter a number larger than 0 in the Maximum Successive Failed Login Attempts field.
• Enter at least 2 in the Enable password history policy field.
• Enter a number between 1–365 in the Maximum Password Age (in days) field.
