Description

Sets the password for the platform or the domain. There are separate passwords for each domain and for the platform. If you set a password, entering the password is required for access to the shell or console.

It is very important to set the password for the platform and each domain even if a domain is not being used. This prevents people from creating and activating unauthorized domains.

Prior to allowing the password to be changed, the current password will be authenticated. Changed passwords take effect immediately. The old password will no longer be accepted.

You can remove the password by pressing Return at the Enter new password and Enter new password again prompts.
