DESCRIPTION:

To set the password for telnet sessions with the NetBootLoader the
command “passwd” is used. This command is interactive, meaning
that after it is issued, the NetBootLoader responds with an
appropriate request to the operator which must be properly
acknowledged or the operation fails (refer to USAGE below).

To set the password in the event it is unknown, use the option “-f”.
This is can only be accomplished from the TERM interface and not
from the Ethernet interface.

With the option “-d”, the remote telnet login can be disabled by
invalidating the password.

Set password
