In the CLI, use the 

password

 or 

passwd

 command to change your password. If you forget the password 

for the admin user account, contact your customer support provider to reset the password.

The

Changes to the password take effect immediately and do not require you commit the change.

Locking a user account prevents a local user from logging into the appliance. A user account can be 
locked in one of the following ways:

AsyncOS locks a user account if the user exceeded the maximum number of failed login attempts 
defined in the Local User Account & Password Settings section. 

Administrators can manually lock user accounts for security purposes using the System 
Administration > Users page. 

AsyncOS displays the reason why the user account was locked when you view the user account on the 
Edit User page. 

To unlock a user account, open the user account by clicking on the user name in the Users listing and 
click Unlock Account. 

To manually lock a local user account, open the user account by clicking on the user name in the Users 
listing and click Lock Account. AsyncOS displays a message saying that the user will be unable to log 
into the appliance and asks if you want to continue.

You can also configure all local user accounts to lock after users fail to login successfully after a 
configured number of attempts. For more information, see 

If you lock the admin account, you can only unlock it by logging in as the admin through a serial 
communications connection to the serial console port. The admin user can always access the appliance 
using the serial console port, even when the admin account is locked. See 

 for more information on accessing the appliance using the serial console port.
