Password guidelines
Use the following guidelines when choosing a password:
1. Use between six and eight alphanumeric characters; you can use a password
with more than eight characters, but Linux truncates the password at eight
characters and verifies the password against those eight characters only.
The valid characters include: a-z A-Z 0-9 % ! @ $ ^ & * - _ = \ | . ,
/ ? ; : +
a. Use both upper- and lower-case letters. A password is case-sensitive.
b. Do not use a proper name.
c. Do not use a word found in a dictionary.
d. Do not use a date.
e. Do not use a command word.
f. Do not use a string of consecutive keys on a keyboard (for example,
“qwerty”).
If you forget or want to reset the admin password, see “Resetting the Admin
Password” in Appendix A.
Advanced administration is possible by logging in to the CacheRaQ 4 through a
telnet session. Log in as user root with the password you assigned to admin on
this setup page.
