Managing Passwords
Modifying a Password
There are four levels of account access. See “ About Passwords ” on page 97. To
exit the password command without completing the prompts, click CTRL+C.
1. Create a CLI connection to the switch.
2. Log in using the account for which you want to change the password.
At each account level, you can change passwords for that account and all accounts
that have lesser privileges. See “
About Passwords ” on page 97.
3. Enter the passwd command and enter the requested information at the
prompts.
You must enter the current password for the first account. Passwords do not have
to contain upper/lower/non-alphanumeric characters.
If you are using Secure Fabric OS, new passwords are saved and distributed to all
the switches in the fabric.
