The password policy for this account is determined by your operating system and organization's security policy, not the Portal for ArcGIS setup. If you use a local operating system account, the account is created automatically if it does not already exist. If you use a Managed Service Account, the account must already be configured for your machine. Keep in mind that the account you specify does not have to be part of the Administrators group. The account used can be a local account, domain account or Managed Service Account. The first option, Specify the account name and password, allows you to directly specify the account name and password. Two options are available: Specify the account name and password and I have a configuration file with the account information generated by a previous run of this setup. Specify the account to be used by Portal for ArcGIS to perform a variety of functions in support of the portal. To learn more, see Changing the portal content directory. Instead, you can configure your portal to use the existing content directory after the installation has completed. If the existing directory is from a shared network location, you cannot specify it in the setup.
