Changing the
Password
DUA1640-5AAA02
The remaining sections in this chapter detail the management functions
that can be carried out from the CLI.
We recommend that setting a password is the first task you carry out
on the hub. Setting a password prevents unauthorized management
access to the hub or stack.
If you forget your password while logged out of the hub, refer to
"Solving Problems With the Command Line Interface" on page 8-3.
To set a new password or change an existing password:
1 At the top-level menu, enter:
system password
2 You are prompted for your old password:
Old password:
If this is the first time you are setting a password, press [Return]
without entering any text. If you already have a password set up, then
enter the password.
3 The prompt changes to show:
Enter new password:
Enter your new password. The prompt asks you to confirm your new
password by entering it again.
The CLI displays a message to tell you that your password has
successfully changed.
