Managing user accounts and passwords using the CLI

To change the password for the currently logged on user and to add or delete user accounts, access the User menu by using the following command:

/cfg/sys/user

The User menu displays.

The User menu includes the following options:

/cfg/sys/user followed by:

password <old	Allows you to change your own password. Passwords
password> <new	can contain spaces and are case sensitive. The change
password> <confirm	takes effect as soon as you execute the command.
new password>
expire <time>	Sets an expiration time for system user passwords. The
	time applies to all system users. The counter starts
	from when the password was last set. The first time the
	system user logs on after the specified time has
	expired, the user is prompted for a new password.
	• time is the length of time in days (d), hours (h),
	minutes (m), or seconds (s or unspecified). The
	default unit is seconds. The default expiration time
	is 0 seconds (no expiry).
	If the time you specify combines time units, the
	format is DDdHHhMMmSS. For example, to make
	all passwords expire in 30 days, 2 hours, and 45
	minutes, enter 30d2h45m..
list	Lists all user accounts. The three built-in users (admin,
	oper, and root) are always listed.
