SET USER PASSWORD
Syntax
show user manager|operator password=password
Parameter
password Specifies the new manager or operator password.
Description
This command changes the passwords for the manager and operator
accounts. The default password for the manager account is “friend.” The
default for the operator account is “operator.”
A password can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters. Allied Telesyn
recommends avoiding special characters, such as spaces, asterisks or
exclamation points, since some web browsers do not accept them in
passwords. The password is case sensitive.
This command is equivalent to SET PASSWORD MANAGER on page 58
and SET PASSWORD OPERATOR on page 59.
Example
The following command changes the operator’s password to “newby”:
set user operator password=newby
