Your First Login Session

17

Change the login password for admin user sessions by follow-
ing the steps below:

Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user 

type admin (see 

). 

Enter the keyword password and press Enter.

Enter your new password at the prompt (refer to the 

note below).

Note. Typically, the password should be a string of non-

repeating characters. The switch’s authentication software 

uses the first occurrence of the character series to uniquely 

identify the password. For example, the password 

engrengr is the same as engr. A better password might be 

engr2735.

You will be prompted to re-enter the password. Enter 

the password a second time.

Note. Be sure to remember or securely record all new 

passwords; overriding configured passwords on 

OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches is restricted.

New password settings are automatically saved in real time to 
the local user database; the user is not required to enter an 
additional command in order to save the password informa-
tion. Also note that new password information is retained 
following a reboot.

All subsequent login sessions—including those through the 
console port—will require the new password in order to access 
the switch.

User Accounts. The switch allows a maximum of 50 user 

accounts in the local user database. For information on 

creating additional user types and assigning individual 

passwords, refer to the “Managing Switch User Accounts” 

chapter of your OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Switch 

Management Guide.
