Changing Passwords
The 
switch 
provides three types of login accounts by default—Administrator, User and Diag-
nostics. The Administrator login provides full 
READ/WRITE
 access to all command families. 
The login name for the Administrator account is 
admin
. The login name for the default User 
account is 
user
 and provides 
READ
 
ONLY
 access to the switch’s command families except for 
the global family, and 
NO WRITE
 privileges. The Diagnostics login has full 
READ/WRITE
 access 
to all command families plus a command for running switching module tests. The login name 
for Diagnostics is 
diag
The initial password for all three accounts is 
switch
. If you log in as 
diag
 you can change the 
passwords for the 
diag
 and 
admin
 login accounts. If you log in as 
admin
, however, you can 
only change the password for the 
admin
 login account. To change the password, complete the 
following steps. Remember that the User Interface does not echo (display) the password char-
acters.
1. From the prompt, type
pw <account-name>
The 
<account-name>
 is the user login name (
diag
admin
) for which you want to change 
the password. The following prompt displays:
Changing password for account:<account-name>
Old password:
2. Enter the old password and press 
<Enter>
. If you enter the old password incorrectly, the 
following message displays:
Authentication failure
and the command will terminate. You will then need to start over from 
Step 1
 above.
If you answered the old password correctly, the following prompt displays:
New password:
3. Enter the new password (you are allowed up to 18 characters) and press 
<Enter>
. The 
following prompt displays:
Retype new: 
4. Re-enter the new password to confirm it and press 
<Enter>
 Note
It is recommended that you change the password from 
the default for all login accounts.
The passwords are stored encrypted in the 
mpm.cnf
 file. If you forget your password, you will 
have to delete the 
mpm.cnf
 file which will cause the passwords to revert to the default.
 Caution 
Deleting the 
mpm.cnf
 file will also remove all of your 
configuration data and restore everything back to 
factory settings.
