Changing Local-User Passwords
Local-user administrative users can change their passwords using the
password change
command in the Exec
mode. Users are prompted to enter their current and new passwords.
Security administrators can reset passwords for local-users by entering the following command from the root
prompt in the Exec mode:
[local]
host_name
#
password change username name
name
is the name of the local-user account for which the password is to be changed. When a security
administrator resets a local-user's password, the system prompts the user to change their password the next
time they login.
All new passwords must adhere to the password properties configured for the system.
