Changing a password
The Set User Password command changes a user’s password. For security, when you type a password, the

To change a password:
At the AmpMeter PDU: prompt, type set user password, followed by a username and press Enter.
At the Password: prompt, type the new password and press Enter. Passwords may contain up to 16
characters, and spaces are not allowed. To specify no password, press Enter at the prompt.
At the Verify Password: prompt, retype the new password and press Enter. To verify no password, press
Enter at the prompt.
Examples
The following command changes the password for the user JohnDoe:
AmpMeter PDU: set user password johndoe<Enter>

The following command blanks the password for the user JaneDoe:
AmpMeter PDU: set user password<Enter>

Setting user access level privileges
The Set User Access command sets the access level privileges for a user. The AmpMeter PDU has two
defined access privilege levels; Admin, User. For more information on user access levels, see Changing a
user’s access privilege level: on page 15.
The administrator may also grant administrative privileges to other user accounts allowing the AmpMeter PDU to
have more than one administrative-level user.
NOTE: You cannot remove administrative privileges from the Admn user unless another user has already been
given administrative access level privileges created.
To set the access level privilege for a user:
At the AmpMeter PDU: prompt, type set user access, followed by admin, or user, optionally followed by a
username and press Enter.
Examples
The following command sets the user access level for JohnDoe to Admin:
AmpMeter PDU: set user access admin johndoe<Enter>
The following command sets the user access level for JaneDoe to User:
AmpMeter PDU: set user access user janedoe<Enter>
