Changing your password
In advanced security mode, passwords must have:
at least fifteen characters
at least two uppercase alphabetic characters
at least two lowercase alphabetic characters
at least two numeric characters
at least two non-alphanumeric (special) characters
not more than two consecutive repeating characters. That is, two repeating characters are
allowed, three are not
In advanced account security mode, a new password must be different to the previous 10 passwords that
have been used with an account.
In advanced account security mode, if a user logs in with a correct but expired password the Cisco
TelePresence ISDN Gateway asks that user to change the password. If the user chooses not to change
it, that user is allowed two more login attempts to change the password before the account gets disabled.
In advanced account security mode, users other than administrator users are not allowed to change their
password more than once in a 24 hour period.
If the ISDN Gateway is not in advanced account security mode, there are no criteria for password
selection.
If the ISDN Gateway is in advanced account security mode, the above criteria for passwords are
displayed on the Change password page.
