A password should meet the following criteria to be relatively secure. Only the first item is
mandatory.

It must be at least six characters long (or longer if the system administrator sets it up that way).
It should not be a word in a dictionary of any language, no matter how seemingly obscure.
It should not be the name of a person, place, pet, or other thing that might be discovered easily.
It should contain at least two letters and one digit.
 It should not be your login name, the reverse of your login name, or your login name shifted by
one or more characters.
If you are changing your password, the new password should differ from the old one by at least
three characters. Changing the case of a character does not make it count as a different character
