Changing Local-User Passwords
Security administrators can reset passwords for local-users by entering the following command from the root
prompt in the Exec mode:
host_name password change username name
[local] #
name is the name of the local-user account for which the password is to be changed. When a security
administrator resets a local-user's password, the system prompts the user to change their password the next
time they login.
All new passwords must adhere to the password properties configured for the system.
