Invalid syntax for new password and old password expired

Reason

You tried to access the system with a new password to replace an expired password, but the syntax of the new password does not meet CA ACF2 for z/VM standards. CA ACF2 for z/VM did not update your password. A CA ACF2 for z/VM password must contain only standard ANSI characters (A‑Z, 0‑9, @, #, and &). You cannot use blanks.

Action

Specify the new password again using only ANSI characters.
