Chapter 4 — Setup in Fingerprint
Changing Passwords
To change the password for a user in Fingerprint, the “passwd”command
is used.
Syntax:
RUN"passwd [<user>]"
passwd changes the user’s password. First, the user is prompted for the
current password (if it exists). If the current password is correctly typed,
a new password is requested. e new password must be entered twice
to avoid typing errors. e new password’s total length must be less
than 128 characters. Numbers, uppercase letters and meta characters are
encouraged. Valid user names are admin and user.
You can also use this command:
RUN"passwd <user> '<oldpasswd>' '<newpasswd>' '<newpasswd>'
Examples:
To change password for the current user (user, without password):
RUN"passwd"
Changing local password for user.
New password:[enter new password]
Retype new password:[enter new password]
To change password for “admin”:
RUN"passwd admin"
Changing local password for admin.
Old password:[enter current password]
New password:[enter new password]
Retype new password:[enter new password]
Note: You do not have to change to the user whose password is
changed.

All settings are saved to non-volatile memory immediately after the
command has been given, but they are not committed to the NIC/driver

A reboot will cause the current settings to be used. e alternative to
