ETSI EN 303 645 Provision 5.1-2: Pre-installed unique passwords generated to resist automated attack

If each device ships with its own pre-installed password, those passwords are generated in a way that reduces the chance of automated attacks succeeding across an entire class or type of device, for example through adequate randomness. Counters that increment, or passwords derived from public values such as the MAC address or the Wi-Fi SSID, do not satisfy this. Status in Table B.1: M F (b) (mandatory, a shall provision; applies only where each device ships with its own pre-installed password used for authentication).
