Local account passwords
The following rules apply to changing passwords:

commands. When changing an admin account password, you must provide the current password.
• An admin with ADlist 0-10 or LFlist 1-10 cannot change the password on an account with admin,
user, or any permission with an ADlist 11-25 or LFlist 11-128. The user account being changed must
have an ADlist that is a subset of the account that is making the change.
• A new password must have at least one character different from the previous password.
• You cannot change passwords by using SNMP.
