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
x
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.
