Note: The maximum number of uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters depend on the password length and, when configuring one option, the length set for other options. For example, if password length is set to 8 characters and the minimum uppercase characters is set to 2 characters, the maximum lowercase characters that can be set is 5 and numeric characters cannot be set.
