Default accounts do not have passwords assigned to them. Passwords can have a minimum of zero and a maximum of 32 characters. (If you specify the format of passwords using the configure account password-policy char-validation command, the minimum is eight characters.)
Note
Passwords are case-sensitive. User-created account names are not case-sensitive.configure account admin green configure account user blue
Note
If you forget your password while logged out of the CLI, you can use the bootloader to reinstall a default switch configuration, which allows access to the switch without a password. Note that this process reconfigures all switch settings back to the initial default configuration.
