Password guidelines
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you follow these password guidelines when you create and update user accounts.
When working with passwords:
Do not write down or record passwords.
Do not share passwords with others.
Do not use passwords that are made up of words found in a dictionary.
Do not use passwords that contain obvious words, such as the company name, product name, user name, or login name.
Change passwords regularly.
Keep the iLO default credentials in a safe place.
Use strong passwords with at least three of the following characteristics:
At least one uppercase ASCII character
At least one lowercase ASCII character
At least one ASCII digit
At least one other type of character (for example, a symbol, special character, or punctuation).
If you enable the Password complexity setting on the Access Settings page, iLO enforces these password characteristics when you create or edit a user account.
The minimum length for a user account password is set on the Access Settings page. Depending on the configured Minimum Password Length value, 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:Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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.
