Use the SET DEVICE command to modify passwords. Both the 
administrator and the user passwords can contain up to 15 characters. 
Alphanumeric and special characters are allowed, including [DEL] and [BS].

The Bridge Module has two levels of password control:

1. Administrator Password - the administrator password provides access 

to  all Bridge Module commands, enabling both read and write 
configuration access.

2. User Password - the user password provides limited access to Bridge 

Module commands, enabling read access only.

Typing the HELP command will list the bridge command set with 
administrator commands designated by an asterisk (*) as shown earlier in 
this chapter.

Note: For security, the characters you enter in both the old and 

new password fields are not displayed on the screen.

The new passwords you set are in effect immediately, but you must use the 
SAVE DEVICE (or SAVE ALL) command to save the new passwords 
permanently.

Use the SET DEVICE PASSWORD ADMINISTRATOR command at the 
management prompt to establish the administrator password.
