Troubleshooting for PCBE Agent Password of 3-16 characters is required for
PowerChute Business Edition During the installation of PCBE, when prompted to select user name and password, the error message "Password of 3-16 characters is required". This issue occurs when the screen resolution is less than 800 x600 and the confirm password box is not visible. This error can occur on all Operating Systems with this screen resolution. There are two ways to resolve. The customer may use the TAB key once to insert the cursor into the confirm password text box that remains offscreen. The customer should then hit the 'next' button to continue with the installation.
The second option would be to change the screen resolution and try installing the software again.
