Password Protection - D-Link DES-3326SRM - Switch - Stackable Product Manual

Password Protection

The DES-3326S does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to create
user accounts. If you log in using a predefined administrator-level user name you have privileged access to the Switch's
management software.
After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the Switch, and
record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the <user name> and press the Enter key.
2. You will be asked to provide a password. Type the <password> used for the administrator account being
created and press the Enter key.
3. You will be prompted to enter the same password again to verify it. Type the same password and press the
Enter key.
4. Successful creation of the new administrator account will be verified by a Success message.
User names and passwords can be up to 15 characters in length.
The sample below illustrates a successful creation of a new administrator-level account with the user name "newmanager".
NOTICE: CLI configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and are
not saved when the Switch is rebooted. To save all your configuration changes in
nonvolatile storage, you must use the save command to copy the running configuration file
to the startup configuration.
