How to fix Password too short error message?

When I try to install db2, and I use db2admin as user, I always get an error message : "password too short".

In the documentation is said that DB2 shoudld create the user on the system (Vista)even when it does'nt exist.

How can I solve the problem ?

Hi Patrick,

Issue is not with your userid, but with the "password" that you are suppliying for the db2admin user.
To resolve the issue supply a password of atleast 8 characters in length.

Some of password that you can opt to get going can be db2adm1n,db21234, pat2dmin etc. :)
