Configuring the Logon Password
The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters. However, the administrator has write access for parameters governing the onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new administrator password as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
Notes: 1. If you log into the Web interface as guest (Normal Exec level), you can view page information but only change the guest password. If you log in as admin (Privileged Exec level), you can apply changes on all pages.
2.If for some reason your password is lost, you can reload the factory deafults file or reinstall runtime code to restore the default passwords. See “Upgrading Firmware via the Serial Port” on page
The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The default administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.” Note that user names can only be assigned via the CLI.
Web – Click System/Passwords. Enter the old password, enter the new password, confirm it by entering it again, then click “Apply.”
