- After clicking Yes, an error message may appear, if your new password does not meet the password requirements of your organization. Typically, this error appears if you enter a new password that is not long enough or is too obvious from a security perspective (in other words, you entered a common word or phrase). If you receive this message, try specifying a new password that is longer and that uses non-alphanumeric characters (such as ! or $). If in doubt, contact your administrator for assistance selecting a complex password.
