Changing password settings for BlackBerry
Administration Service authentication
If you use BlackBerry Administration Service authentication in your organization's environment, you can change the
minimum password length and the number of days until passwords expire to meet the requirements of your organization's
security policies.
By default, the minimum password length is four characters and a password expires after 365 days. If you set the password
expiry to 0, passwords do not expire. If you change the minimum password length, administrators who have passwords that
do not meet the new minimum length are not required to change the passwords until the passwords expire. If you change
the password expiry to a shorter period, administrators who are logged in with passwords that are older than the new expiry
remain logged in and are required to change the password at the next log in.
The password for the BlackBerry Administration Service administrator account that was created when the BlackBerry
Device Service was installed does not expire unless it is changed.
