IBM i : Password Rules (QPWDRULES) - '*PWDSYSVAL'

Information

The Password Rules (QPWDRULES) system value specifies the rules used to check whether a password
is formed correctly. You can specify more than one value for the QPWDRULES system value, unless you
specify *PWDSYSVAL.

Solution

QPWDRULES setting could be used to enforce complex password requirements.
Set it to *PWDSYSVAL to ignore QPWDRULES value
and use other password system values for setting the password.
