password is based on a dictionary word

edited Nov 26, 2014 10:02AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Hi,

We are using Solaris 10. The root password has expired. No matter how I change the root password, the message "password is based on a dictionary word" is in return. I goto the URL https://strongpasswordgenerator.com/ to generate strong password also the same message "password is based on a dictionary word" in return.

Now I can't login root to perform any task. Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy, Stranger!
