    Hi!
    
    As we known,  must use  more  than one upper case  to setup password except
    in case of all number and the password is minium 5 digits.
    Then, Customer want to use all lower case and just 5 digits.
    
    Customer said the problem of security was trifling.
    
    thanks

| The base system security will accept an all lower case password if you type it often enough. It might also accept shorter passwords, but I tend not be *that* insecure... | |||||

|     Unless you have set up Enhanced Security, your system is
    running Base Security.  If you want to know more about setting
    up security features on a system you should read the Security
    manual.
    
    All that .1 is saying is just keep entering the desired password 
    over and over, the system may eventually accept it.
