static TInt SetEnabled(const TPassword& aPassword,TBool aIsEnabled);

Description

Sets the password enabled state.

The process is implemented by the SetEnabled() function of the CSecurityBase interface.

static TBool IsValid(const TPassword& aPassword);

Description

Determines whether the specified password is valid.

The validation process is implemented by the PrepareL() function of the CSecurityBase interface.

Parameters
