Password too short

[Sanjiv Sharma_1]

Hi All,

I have a L3000/HP-UX 11i and K460/HP-UX 10.20. I am migrating the users from K460 to L3000.

Three users in K460 has 2 character password.
But HP-UX 11.11 is not allowing me to have this password.

Example:In L3000/HP-UX 11i
# password m2
Changing password for m2
Last successful password change for n2: Fri Dec 13 10:10:16 2002
Last unsuccessful password change for n2: Fri Dec 13 09:49:16 2002
New password: m2 -- Same as login.
Password too short - must be at least 6 characters

I want to have 2 character password. How can I do this?

Thanks,
