requirements are shown on the page. The new password must comply with the
default complexity rules or it can be disabled temporarily by selecting Disable
Password Strength Enforcement. See the
Rules section for more details about password complexity.
To change the password:
Enter the following fields to set a new administrative password:
• Old Password—Enter the current password (default is cisco).
• Password—Enter a new password.
• Confirm Password—Enter the new password again for confirmation.
• Password Strength Meter—Displays the strength of the new password.

- Has a minimum length of eight characters.
