Changing default password for the system default accounts

The required parameters for changing the password for the system default accounts and the user defined accounts are name and password. All other parameters are optional.

To enforce that the user changes the default password at first login, use the command password-attributes force-default-password-change.

  1. In the Privileged EXEC Mode, enter the configure terminal command.
    SLX # configure terminal
    SLX (config)#
  2. Enter the username with the specified parameters. Use the encryption-level with 0 to indicate that this is a plain text password.
     SLX (config)# username admin role admin password j*L4$hTS4 encryption-level 0
    The default password for the admin account is now modified.
