810 REFERENCE GUIDE

For operations which do not require a password, the OS will continue to operate

normally and any applications loaded on the device will be unaffected.

Previous versions of the OS will allow a password to be as short as one character.

If a customer has configured a device with “short” passwords and upgrades its OS

to the PCI PED password-compliant OS, the device will follow the logic described

in Download Password Change.

This means that the OS will not enforce the five-character minimum password

requirement until the user attempts to perform an operation which requires a

password. When a password-requiring operation is performed, the user will be

required to change the password to a compliant password before the operation

can be performed.

Any applications loaded on the device will be unaffected by the new OS.

CAUTION

It is possible for a download server to change a password to one which can not

be entered on the V

810 keypad. In this case, the device could be rendered

unusable, depending on which password is changed and the specific

configuration of the device.

NOTE

Some application downloads can automatically reset the system password. If

your system password no longer works, check if an application download has

changed your password.
