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.

the passwd file was missing on disk c inside the security folder, back up the file from another site and place it in the specified folder… the next time you reconfigure a 3G it will not give this alarm

Placing a file inside the DUW disk?
I think that’s not a simple copy-paste operation.
Please can you share the command to do this?

It’s via FTP, I’m going to record a video and play it on my YouTube channel and post the link here

CHECK IN THE DUW SECURITY DIRECTORY IF WE HAVE THE PASSWD FILE:

cd /c/security
ls

ACCESS A NEIGHBORHOOD SITE OR SAME REGIONAL SITE AND OBTAIN THE PASSWD FILE FROM IT:

cd /c/security
ls
ftget  passwd
ls

INSTALLING PASSWORD FILE EXTRACTED FROM NEIGHBORHOOD SITE:

cd /c/security
ls
ftput  passwd
ls

SAVE A CV AND APPLY RESTART

Cvms Passwd_ok
Cvset Passwd_ok
