A password must be at least six characters long, and must not contain two occurrences of a character in a row, or a sequence of two or more characters from the alphabet in forward or reverse order. Example: HGQQXP is an invalid password. GFEDCB is an invalid password.<br /><br />2. A password may not contain two or more letters in the same position as any previous password. Example: If a previous password was GKPWTZ, then NRPWHS would be invalid because PW occurs in the same position in both passwords.<br /><br />3. A password may not contain the name of a month or an abbreviation for a month. Example: MARCHBC is an invalid password. VWMARBC is an invalid password.<br /><br />4. A password may not contain the numeric representation of a month. Therefore, a password containing any number except zero is invalid. Example: WKBH3LG is invalid because it contains the numeric representation for the month of March.<br /><br />5. A password may not contain any words from any language. Thus, a password may not contain the letters A, or I, or sequences such as AT, ME, or TO because these are all words.<br /><br />6. A password may not contain sequences of two or more characters which are adjacent to each other on a keyboard in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction. Example: QWERTY is an invalid password. GHNLWT is an invalid password because G and H are horizontally adjacent to each other. HUKWVM is an invalid password because H and U are diagonally adjacent to each other.<br /><br />7. A password may not contain the name of a person, place, or thing. Example: JOHNBOY is an invalid password.<br /><br />Because of the complexity of the password selection rules, there is actually only one password which passes all the tests. To make the selection of this password simpler for the user, it will be distributed to all supervisors. All users are instructed to obtain this password from his or her supervisor and begin using it immediately.Chris Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019277814375090965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823897529311780344.post-74860969355030622132011-04-11T19:16:04.185+01:002011-04-11T19:16:04.185+01:00Related to Shauns post...

Use the first letter of each word (iabr) then use a weird character, eg, %, then finally some numbers, eg, 8766. This gives you iabr%8766. Not a dictionary word, and something a 'brute force' attack would take ages to crack. Maybe. Or an hour. Depends on if they're using a P3-266 or not...Chris Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019277814375090965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823897529311780344.post-2611942967535770422011-04-11T19:12:31.191+01:002011-04-11T19:12:31.191+01:00sprry?
