Passwords
A default password is used the first time a user logs in. Once a user is logged on, the user can change
the password using the cnfpwd command.
The password must consist of 6 to 15 characters. Only letters, numbers, a hyphen, an underscore,
and spaces are allowed. The password is case-sensitive. For security, the password is not displayed
as it is entered.
When a user attempts to log in, the system prompts for a valid password after the userID prompt has
been entered. The user must respond with the account’s valid password.
