enforce a different minimum password length.

Note: Oracle suggests that you choose an administrative user
password of at least eight characters in length, containing a mixture of
alphabetic and numeric characters. The maximum length is 16

vulnerability. The recommended procedure is to have the user be
prompted for the password.
