Changing The Root Password - 3Com NETBuilder SI Using Manual

Changing the Root
Password
The default root password is a null string, which is generated by pressing
the Return key.
You should specify a new password immediately after you log on for the
first time. Changing the root password prevents unauthorized users from
accessing and executing software commands and parameters.
The root user has two privilege levels and passwords: Network Manager
and User. The User privilege enables only a subset of software commands.
You should assign passwords for both levels. If you log in as root and
enter the Network Manager password, you have Network Manager
privilege. If you log in as root with the User password, you have User
privilege.
You might log on with the User password if you do not want to create
user accounts. If you want to change the privilege level without logging
off, use:
SET -SYS PRIvilege = User | NetMgr
The following guidelines exist when changing a password:
You must be logged on as root with Network Manager privilege.
You must change the Network Manager password before you change
the User password.
You must clear the User password before you clear the Network
Manager password.
To change the password for both privilege levels, enter:
SysPassWord
A menu is displayed.
Follow the menu to set the Network Manager password and then the
User password.
CAUTION: You must set both the Network Manager and the User
password. If the User password is not set, any unauthorized user can
logon with User level privilege.
