How to Resolve Password Errors on Ericsson 3G Sites [Password File Fault]

Hello Everyone.

I am trying to Fix this alarm on 3G Site on Ericsson Technology using this command below:

passwd

However, I keep encountering the following errors:

Error 1:

The current password is incorrect!
Syntax: passwd ; <current password> ; <new password>

Error 2:

$ Enter new password:
Unable to set the password. The value provided for the new password does not meet the length or complexity requirements. See manual page for detailed instructions.
Enter new password:
Unable to set the password. The value provided for the new password does not meet the length or complexity requirements. See manual page for detailed instructions.
Too many attempts, aborting

Could someone please assist with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Hi, @Youssef_1, make sure you are using correct password.

For the second error: password require upper/lower case, numbers and at least one special character.

If all above doesn’t helps, then recomission DUW with formatting c2 and d drives.

Hhhhhh, it’s Okay,

My question is what is Recomisison ?

What is the purpose of recomission a Site ?

in case of recomission DUW does it have any affect on traffic or service, or making a Site Restarted.

Thanks @vlr9999 for your helpfull guideline, appreciate.!!

Recomission is the integration from scratch: formatting drives, copy upgrade package, load configuration and so on. It is 15-30 min on-site activity for experienced person and 1hr for not so.
I’m sure there is no way to reset password if you forget it.
