Manage Accounts

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller is shipped with a factory-set, default administrator account with full rights:

The user ID is admin.
The factory preset password for this account is abc123.
These values are case sensitive. During initial configuration of ExtremeCloud IQ Controller, the CLI wizard prompts you to change the default Admin user ID and password.
Important

Passwords must have 12–64 characters, including 1 upper case letter (A–Z), 1 lower case letter (a–b), 2 numbers (0–9), and 2 special characters ("^", "$", "#", "@", "!", "%", "&", "*", "(", ")", "-", "=", "_", "+", "|", ",", ".", "/", "<", ">", "?", ";", "~", "[", "]", "{", "}").

The ExtremeCloud IQ Controller Password Manager maintains user account passwords and the global password for SSH access to APs. It uses various mechanisms to prevent password re-use, and to monitor password expiry countdowns and issue password expiry notifications. The Password Manager manages and validates password resets.

Go to Administration > Accounts.

The Accounts tab displays by default. Under this tab, the default system Administrator account and any other configured accounts are listed in tabular form. Accounts Table Column Headings describes the type of information displayed under the table column headings.

Table 1. Accounts Table Column Headings
Column Heading	Description
Name	Displays the name (user ID) assigned to the account.
Admin Role	Displays the role assigned to the named account.
Expires In	If the password expiry is set to a non-zero value, this column appears and displays the number of days remaining before the password associated with the user account expires.

Above the Accounts table is the Password Expiry field, which displays the number of days allotted to the life of the password assigned to each user account, as well as the global password for SSH access to APs. The Password Manager uses the Password Expiry setting to calculate the expiry date of passwords, based on the date when the password was last set.
