set enablepass

35

set enablepass

Sets the password that provides enabled access (for configuration and

 

monitoring) to the WX switch.

 

Syntax set enablepass

 

Defaults — None.

 

Access — Enabled.

 

History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.

 

Usage — After typing the set enablepass command, press Enter. If you

 

are entering the first enable password on this WX switch, press Enter at

 

the Enter old password prompt. Otherwise, type the old password.

 

Then type a password of up to 32 alphanumeric characters with no

 

spaces, and reenter it at the Retype new password prompt.

 

CAUTION: Be sure to use a password that you will remember. If you lose

 

the enable password, the only way to restore it causes the system to

 

return to its default settings and wipes out the configuration.

 

Examples — The following example illustrates the prompts that the

 

system displays when the enable password is changed. The passwords

 

you enter are not displayed.

 

WX1200# set enablepass

 

Enter old password: old-password

 

Enter new password: new-password

 

Retype new password: new-password

 

Password changed
