Menu: Setting Passwords
As noted earlier in this section, usernames are optional. Configuring a user-
name requires either the CLI or the web browser interface.
1. From the Main Menu select:
3. Console Passwords
Figure 2-1. The Set Password Screen
2. To set a new password:
a. Select Set Manager Password or Set Operator Password. You will then
be prompted with Enter new password.
b. Type a password of up to 16 ASCII characters with no spaces and
press
[Enter]. (Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.)
c. When prompted with Enter new password again, retype the new pass-
word and press
[Enter].
After you configure a password, if you subsequently start a new console
session, you will be prompted to enter the password. (If you use the CLI or
web browser interface to configure an optional username, the switch will
prompt you for the username, and then the password.)
To Delete Password Protection (Including Recovery from a Lost
Password): This procedure deletes all usernames (if configured) and pass-
words (Manager and Operator).
