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 providesaccess 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.
