2 Access the User Menu.

Type the

passwd command to change your current password.

When your own password is changed, the change takes effect immediately

without having to use the

apply command.

Changing another user’s password

Only the admin user can change another user’s password, and then only if the

admin user is a member of the other user’s first group (the group that is listed first

for the user with the

/cfg/sys/user/edit <username>/groups/list

command). Login passwords are case sensitive and can contain spaces.

1 Log on to the Nortel SNAS 4050 cluster as the admin user.
