Usage Guidelines
Use the command to determine which account you want to delete from the system. The
show accounts
show accounts output displays the following information in a tabular format:
• The user name
• Access information associated with each user
• User login information
• Session information
Depending on the software version running on your switch and the type of switch you have, additional
account information may be displayed.
You must have administrator privileges to delete a user account. There must be one administrator
account on the system; the command will fail if an attempt is made to delete the last administrator
account on the system.
Do not delete the default administrator account. If you do, it is automatically restored, with no
password, the next time you download a configuration. To ensure security, change the password on the
default account, but do not delete it. The changed password will remain intact through configuration
uploads and downloads.
If you must delete the default account, first create another administrator-level account. Remember to
manually delete the default account again every time you download a configuration.
Example
The following command deletes account John2:
delete account john2
