are not allowed.

Type and confirm a password for the administrator account.
For improved security, the password should be at least 6 characters long. The
password can contain any characters except spaces.

Optionally type a Trusted Host IP address and netmask for the location from which the
administrator can log into the web-based manager.
If you want the administrator to be able to access the FortiGate unit from any address,
set the trusted host to 0.0.0.0 and the netmask to 0.0.0.0.
To limit the administrator to only access the FortiGate unit from a specific network, set
the trusted host to the address of the network and set the netmask to the netmask for
the network. For example, to limit an administrator to accessing the FortiGate unit
from your internal network, set the trusted host to the address of your internal network
(for example, 192.168.1.0) and set the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
