Users can change their own passwords if the server is configured with Pentaho security. As a Pentaho administrator, you can add options to set password length and character requirements.

Perform the following steps to set password requirements:

Navigate to the server/pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system directory and open the security.properties file with any text editor.
By default, the password length is set to 0 and the special character requirement is set to false. Change the default values in the security.properties file to your password requirements.
```
PUC_USER_PASSWORD_LENGTH=0
PUC_USER_PASSWORD_REQUIRE_SPECIAL_CHARACTER=false
```
Save and close the file.
Restart the Pentaho server.
