Setting up a server and the data center says the maximum password length for server 2016 is only 14 characters... I know I've had a much longer one before...
Does anyone know the default maximum password length?

I previously had a pretty long password, I had to reinstall the OS, and I initially followed their instrutions and put a 14 character password, then I put a much longer one and changed the administrator username too for added security... then I was locked out and had to reinstall the OS again... it's a fully 100% remote dedicated server...

Does anyone know the maximum password length by default in windows server 2016?

Thanks in advance!
