Username and Password Requirements

Restrictions on username and password values for user accounts are determined by the Security Level setting configured on the Preferences page. Username and password requirements are the same for local users and TOS users.

For the X family device, the default security access level is Level 2, Maximum Security Checking. For details on the available security levels and instructions for changing the security level, see “Preferences Parameter Details” on page 267.

The following table provides examples of valid and invalid usernames and passwords based on the default setting for username/password Security Level (Level 2, Maximum Security Checking).
