I am running RHEL 7 and not matter what password I enter I get BAD PASSWORD: The password is too similar to the old one using
My current password is something similar to PasswordAABCCD1!
It has expired, when I try to log in now, no matter what I enter I get:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is too similar to the old one using
I have tried Completely different Password all sorts of combination of case and numbers and special characters.
I did not set this server up and not really familiar with RHEL 7
Is there anything else I can try?
I will try to reset the root password using the following method, if someone can look over the article and tell if that should work.
Once I have reset the root password and logged in when should I look for the password policy?
What setting could be causing this?
