Do you wish to shutdown all the ports: yes
I entered both the admin and enable passwords as the same. This config didnt work so i wiped the config and chose not to shutdown the ports with the same outcome. Both times i tried to go down the password restore path with no luck (all different passwords tried, short, long, complex, simple)
Error: Non-Compliant to Mgmt Password Policy
Internal error occurred, Password validation failed
im thinking it could have something to do with local vs master? I didnt have trouble with the other controller I got which is identical.
