Confirm New Password text box.
As you enter a password, the number and color of vertical bars changes to indicate the
password strength, as follows:

• Orange—The password meets the minimum complexity requirements but the password
strength is weak.
• Green—The password is strong.
STEP 6 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
