Upon completion of the prior step, the following message appears.
STEP 7:
You will now change the password for the 'root' shell user.
Changing password for user root.
New Password:
1. Enter the new root password and press Enter. The Linux root password is similar to a Windows administrator
password. The root user is a super user who has full access to all commands and directories on the computer.
Aruba recommends keeping this password as secure as possible because it allows full access to the machine.
This password is not often needed on a day-to-day basis, but is required to perform AWMS upgrades and
advanced troubleshooting. If you lose this password, contact Dell support for instructions on resetting it.
