Important Notes About PIX Passwords
It is important to set the passwords on each PIX you deploy. 1.
PIX passwords may be a maximum of 16 characters in length. SSH permits up to 100 characters in a
username and up to 50 characters in a password. 2.
PIX password characters can consist of alphanumeric or special characters except for the question mark or
space. 3.
PIX passwords are case-sensitive, for example, an uppercase "A" is recognized differently from a
lowercase "a". 4.
Make sure caps lock or num lock on your keyboard is not set when entering passwords. 5.
Passwords should not be any word or syllable that would be found in the dictionary of common languages,
the word "password", your date of birth, organization name, or anything very easy to guess about you or
your organization. 6.
Write down new passwords and store them in a manner consistent with the security policy of your
organization. Once you change a PIX password, you cannot view it again. 7.
PIX passwords may be entered in encrypted form. For more information, see the PIX Firewall
Configuration Guide. 8.
