set-passwd
The console requires you enter a password to log in. The set-passwd command allows you to
change the console password. To change the console password:
1. Enter the set-passwd command at the CLI prompt. The system prompts you for the
old password.
2. Enter the old password. The system prompts you for a new password.
3. Enter your new password. Note that the password is not echoed back to you. The system
prompts you to reenter the new password.
4. Reenter the new password.
