Nortel Secure Network Access Switch 4050 User Guide

Access the User Menu.

Type the

passwd

command to change your current password.

When your own password is changed, the change takes effect immediately
without having to use the

apply

command.

Changing another user’s password

Only the admin user can change another user’s password, and then only if the
admin user is a member of the other user’s first group (the group that is listed first
for the user with the

/cfg/sys/user/edit <username>/groups/list

command). Login passwords are case sensitive and can contain spaces.

Log on to the Nortel SNAS 4050 cluster as the admin user.
