Configuring Username and Password Security

Configuring Local Password Security

To Remove Password Protection. Removing password protection means to eliminate password security. This command prompts you to verify that you want to remove one or both passwords, then clears the indicated password(s). (This command also clears the username associated with a password you are removing.) For example, to remove the Operator password (and username, if assigned) from the switch, you would do the following:

Press [Y] (for yes) and press [Enter].

Figure 2-3. Removing a Password and Associated Username from the Switch

The effect of executing the command in figure 2-3 is to remove password protection from the Operator level. (This means that anyone who can access the switch console can gain Operator access without having to enter a user- name or password.)
