Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should
define new passwords for both default user names using the
“username” command, record them and put them in a safe place.
Passwords can consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters and are case
sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords

“admin” to access the Privileged Exec level.
2. Type “configure” and press
3. Type “username guest password 0 password,” for the Normal Exec
level, where password is your new password. Press
4. Type “username admin password 0 password,” for the Privileged Exec
level, where password is your new password. Press
Note: ‘0’ specifies the password in plain text, ‘7’ specifies the
password in encrypted form.
