Updating the Local Network Login Password

Passwords are case-sensitive. Passwords must have a minimum of zero characters and a maximum of 32 characters.

  1. Update the password of an existing local network login account with the following command:
    configure netlogin local-user user_name

    where user_name specifies the name of the existing local network login account.

  2. After you enter the local network login user name, press [Enter].
    The switch prompts you to enter a password.
  3. At the prompt, enter the new password and press [Enter].
    The switch then prompts you to reenter the password.

    If you attempt to create a password with more than 32 characters, the switch displays the following message after you re-enter the password:

    Password cannot exceed 32 characters
    The following example modifies the password for the existing local network login account megtest.The following is a sample display from this command:
    configure netlogin local-user megtest
    password: <Enter the new password. The switch does not display the password.>
    Reenter password: <Re-enter the new password. The switch does not display the password.>
After you complete these steps, the password has been updated.
