Setting Minimum Password Length
The Minimum Password Length is the minimum number of digits that a user can specify when
setting a password for his/her mailbox. The Minimum Password Length also applies to the
System Administration password. The range is 0 – 15 digits.
The shorter the Minimum Password Length, the more vulnerable the system is
to abuse by unauthorized persons. Choosing the longest acceptable minimum
password length maximizes the security of the system. The factory-set
Minimum Password Length is 6 digits.
Note:
If you attempt to set a minimum length of less than 6 digits, the system will:
