Similarly, use PAS 1 to change Level 1 passwords.
Passwords can contain as many as 12 characters. Uppercase and lowercase letters
are treated as different characters. Strong passwords consist of 12 characters,
with at least one special character or digit and mixed-case sensitivity, but do not
form a name, date, acronym, or word. Passwords formed in this manner are less
susceptible to password guessing and automated attacks. Examples of valid, dis-
tinct, and strong passwords are shown below:
