Changing a password

The Set User Password command changes a user’s password. For security, when you type a password, the characters are not displayed on the screen. See Usernames and Passwords for more information.

To change a password:

At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set user password, followed by a username and press Enter.

At the Password: prompt, type the new password and press Enter. Passwords may contain up to 16 characters, and spaces are not allowed. To specify no password, press Enter at the prompt.

At the Verify Password: prompt, retype the new password and press Enter. To verify no password, press Enter at the prompt.

Examples

The following command changes the password for the user JohnDoe:

Switched PDU: set user password johndoe<Enter>

Password: <Enter>

Verify Password: <Enter>

The following command blanks the password for the user JaneDoe:

Switched PDU: set user password<Enter>

Username: janedoe<Enter>

Password: <Enter>

Verify Password: <Enter>

Setting user access level privileges

The Set User Access command sets the access level privileges for a user. The Switched PDU has four defined access privilege levels; Admin, User, On-Only and View-Only. For more information on user access levels, see Changing a user’s access privilege level: on page 19.

The administrator may also grant administrative privileges to other user accounts allowing the Switched PDU to have more than one administrative-level user.

NOTE: You cannot remove administrative privileges from the Admn user unless another user has already been given administrative access level privileges created.

To set the access level privilege for a user:

At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set user access, followed by admin, user, ononly or viewonly, optionally followed by a username and press Enter.

Examples

The following command sets the user access level for JohnDoe to Admin:

Switched PDU: set user access admin johndoe<Enter>

The following command sets the user access level for JaneDoe to User:

Switched PDU: set user access user janedoe<Enter>
