382 The Command Line Interface
Access to the Nortel SNAS CLI and settings is controlled through the use
of four predefined user accounts and passwords. Once you are connected
to the Nortel SNAS by a console connection or remote connection
(Telnet or SSH), you are prompted to enter a user account name and the
corresponding password. Table 59 "User access levels" (page 382) lists
the default user accounts and passwords for each access level.
ATTENTION
The default Administrator user password can be changed during the initial
configuration (see “Initial setup” (page 41)). However, the default passwords
for the Operator user, the Boot user, and the Root user are used even after
the initial configuration. Nortel therefore recommends that you change the
default Nortel SNAS passwords for the Operator and Root user soon after the
initial configuration, and as regularly as required under your network security
policies.For more information about how to change a user account password,
see “Changing passwords” (page 223).

only limited access to the System menu.
