Having trouble setting BIOS password
This is on a PowerEdge R750.
I logged in to the idrac > Configuration > BIOS settings > System Security. I put a password in the setup password and confirm setup password box, clicked apply, and then farther down clicked apply and reboot. I let the system reboot, and watched the job queue until it was done. Even after all that the password I entered won't work.
The bios password is definitely set, I cannot enter the lifecycle controller right now because it says the password I thought I set is invalid.
Is there some trick to do this I'm missing?

I tried setting a different password, and it worked. I suspect it may have password requirements like idrac, with the one lower case, one upper case, one number and one symbol.
