Changing the Admin Password and User ID

Use these steps to change the Admin user ID and password. For security reasons, the
first time you log into the Fabric OS you are requested to change the admin user ID
and system password.
NOTE: Previous switches did not require a password to access the management via the serial
line. With V4.0.0 and higher, a password is required to use the serial line, similar to using the
admin level telnet or admin level web tools.
1. Login to the switch as the admin user.
2. At the command line, enter the following command:
Password admin
An interactive session is opened and you are prompted for configuration values.
3. At the New username prompt, enter a new name for the admin user. You can
change the name of the admin user without changing the password. Press Enter to
leave the name as is.
4. At the Old Password prompt, enter the old password.
5. At the New password prompt, enter the new password. The new password must be
from 8 to 40 characters in length.
6. At the new password prompt, enter the new password exactly as entered to the
previous prompt.
7. Press Enter to commit the configuration to the firmware.
IMPORTANT: Save your passwords in a safe place. It is nearly impossible to access a switch
without knowing the switch password.
