Configuring the Logon Password
The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters.
However, the administrator has write access for parameters governing the
onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new administrator password
as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
Notes: 1. If you log into the Web interface as guest (Normal Exec level),
you can view page information but only change the guest
password. If you log in as admin (Privileged Exec level), you
can apply changes on all pages.
2. If for some reason your password is lost, you can reload the
factory deafults file or reinstall runtime code to restore the
default passwords. See “Upgrading Firmware via the Serial
Port” on page A-2 for more information.
The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The default
administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.” Note that user
names can only be assigned via the CLI.
Web – Click System/Passwords. Enter the old password, enter the new
password, confirm it by entering it again, then click “Apply.”
CLI – Assign a user name to access-level 15 (i.e., administrator), then
specify the password.
