Hi Subrata, In the FIPS mode, NSS has a stricter requirement on password quality. See the NSS FIPS Security Policy, Section "Strength of Authentication Mechanism", on page 14: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp814.pdf - The password must be at least seven characters long. - The password must consist of characters from three or more character classes (uppercase, lowercase, digits, etc.). Does your new password not meet either of these requirements?
