Unless you have trusted or shadow passwords, the maximum size is 8.

Hi Manish,

Check if you have enabled more than 8 characters password length here.

SAM -> Auditing and Security -> System Security Policies -> Password Format policies -> maximum password length.(You have to set the password length here)

By default it will have 8 characters. you can change it.
Best wishes,

Ganesh.

Hi Again,

Forgot to mention. SAM won't be available on v3. Use SMH instead.
Best wishes,

Ganesh.
