Setting passwords

HP recommends that you change all passwords after initial configuration and as regularly as required under the network security policies. See the “Accessing the switch” section in the “Command line interface” chapter for a description of the user access levels.

To change the user, operator, or administrator password, you must log in using the administrator password. Passwords cannot be modified from the user or operator command mode.

NOTE: If you forget your administrator password, call HP technical support for help using the password fix-up mode.
