If you have forgotten NAM Traffic Analyzer administrator password, you can recover it using one of
these methods:
• If other users have account management permission, delete the user for whom you have forgotten
the password; then create a new one by logging in as that other user by choosing Admin > Users >
Local Database.
• If no other local users are configured other than the user for whom you have forgotten the password,
use the NAM rmwebusers CLI command; then enable http or https to prompt for the creation of a
NAM Traffic Analyzer user.
Changing Predefined NAM User Accounts on the Switch or Router
The predefined root and guest NAM user accounts (accessible through either a switch or router session
command or a Telnet login to the NAM CLI) are static and independent of the NAM Traffic Analyzer.
You cannot change these static accounts nor can you add other CLI-based users with the NAM Traffic
Analyzer.
Creating a New User
To create a new user:
Step 1 Choose Administration > Users > Local Database.
The GUI displays the users in the local database. Checks indicate the privileges each user has for the
functions listed.
Step 2 Click Create.
The GUI displays the New User Dialog Box.
Step 3 Enter the information required to create new user and select each privilege to grant to the user. See
Table 5-8 for an explanation of user privileges. Table 5-9 describes the fields in the New User Dialog
Box.
