I found this message after I run passwd username
Do you want (choose one letter only):
pronounceable passwords generated for you (g)
a string of letters generated (l) ?
to pick your passwords (p) ?
I want to know what does it mean for each option.
Please help to suggest me.

Pronounceable: a string of letters that do not constitute a word but can be pronounce, like "furbinto"
string of letters: a string of letters that is not pronounceable (see above), like ijhewxib
pick: you select your own password strings.

Re: I found this message after I run passwd username
Well, it pretty much means what it says.
>>pronounceable passwords generated for you (g)
This will generate a password that HP-UX things is a pronounceable word.
>>a string of letters generated (l) ?
Is exactly what it says. A bunch of letters, like: hhuhhsdfghil
>>to pick your passwords (p) ?
Lets you choose your own password.
For more information see the "SECURITY FEATURES" portion of the passwd man page.

Re: I found this message after I run passwd username
On Trusted Systems, the system administrator can control how passwords are generated. The following password generation options are available:
*
User-generated passwords.
A password screening option is available to check for the use of login and group names, login and group name permutations, and palindromes.
A new password must differ from the old password by at least three characters.
*
System-generated passwords using a combination of letters only.
*
System-generated passwords using a combination of letters, numbers, and punctuation characters.
*
System-generated passwords using pronounceable meaningless syllables.
