[Jonn cos]

Dear All,

I was just checking how to change the password for application. how can i revert back to previous password. I am getting this error

BAD PASSWORD: is too similar to the old one

Is there anyway to avoid it and use the previous password. I am using cucm v8.0

Hi John,

You will need to look at the Credential Policy

Dear Rob,

I checked it and its set to 0. Then why its saying similar to password :-(

Any other ideas

Try changing the password to something really different, and then change it back to desired password. 

Thanks
