Simple password check
By default, OS10 uses a strong password check when you configure user name passwords with the username username password
password role role [priv-lvl privilege-level] command.
To turn off the strong password check and configure simpler passwords with no restrictions, use the service simple-password
command.
To disable the simple password check and return to the default strong password check, use the no service simple-password
command.
