configured, the page lists the configured administrators.

The Add Administrator page opens.
Step 3 In the Administrator Details area, enter:
Option Description
Administrator Name Enter the login name for the ACS administrator account. Administrator names
can contain 1 to 32 characters, excluding the left angle bracket (<), the right
angle bracket (>), and the backslash (\). An ACS administrator name does not
have to match a network user name.
Password Enter the password for the administrator to access the ACS web interface.
The password can match the password that the administrator uses for dial-in
authentication; or, it can be a different password. ACS enforces the options in
the Password Validation Options section on the Administrator Password Policy
page.
Passwords must be at least 4 characters long and contain at least 1 numeric
character. The password cannot include the username or the reverse username,
must not match any of the previous 4 passwords. and must be in ASCII
characters. For errors in passwords, ACS displays the password criteria.
If the password policy changes and the password does not change, the
administrator remains logged in. ACS enforces the new password policy at the
next login.
Confirm Password Reenter the password that you entered in the password field.
