also known as emergency-admin.

Password requirements
After you enable enhanced secure mode on the switch the password requirements are stronger.
The individual in the administrator access level role configures and provides a temporary user name
and password. After you log in for the first time with the temporary user name and temporary
password, the system forces you to change the temporary password. After you change the
temporary password, you cannot use the password again in subsequent sessions.
The following topic discusses the enhanced password requirements.
Password complexity rule
After you enable enhanced secure mode, the system checks each password change request to
ensure the new password meets the password complexity required.
