4.6.3 Change Password
A valid password consists of 4 digits, from 0 to 9, and a to f. The authenticator
does not check upper case or lower case. For example, password “12ab” is
treated as “12AB”. Once the password gets changed, CNM will use the password
to retrieve the information about the switch.
If the password is forgotten, please refer to 3.3.2 to reset the password in the
switch. After it, you have to remove the switch from the topology and discover
the switch again.
After changing the password, CNM will show a dialog box for administrators to
save the topology or not. If not, administrators will have to do two jobs when
CNM starts up next time. First, manually add the switch according to section
4.4.2. Second, change password again and replace 0x2379 with correct one.

Since password was modified, administrators have to login to the switch. Or
administrators will not be able to control the switch. See figure for screen.
