File: IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-started-emergency-iam-user.md

Summary

Fixed a typo in the error name 'PasswordPolicyViolation' (changed from 'PassworPolicyViolation' to 'PasswordPolicyViolation').

Security assessment

This change corrects a spelling error in an error message name. It improves documentation accuracy for password policy violations but does not address a security vulnerability or add new security guidance.
