Changing the Manager and Operator Passwords
There are two levels of management access on an AT-94xx switch:
manager and operator. When you log in as manager, you can view and
configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an
operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot change
any values.
You log in as a manager or an operator when you enter the appropriate
username and password when you start an AT-S63 management session.
The default password for manager access is “friend.” The default
password for operator access is “operator.” Passwords are case sensitive.
This section contains these two procedures:
ˆ “Changing the Manager or Operator Password” on page 63
ˆ “Resetting the Manager Password” on page 65
The first procedure allows you to change a manager or operator password.
The second procedure allows you to bypass the manager password in the
event you lose or forget it.
