Maintaining passwords
When you expire a password, the next time that user logs in, Web Tools requires the user to provide
a new password.
NOTE
You have to own the switch in order to modify password rules.
A password becomes locked if a user has exceeded the maximum number of failed login attempts.
This number is specified in the Lockout Threshold field shown in Figure 109. To unlock a locked
password, see the unlock procedure on page 223.
Changing the password of an account
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 41.
2. Click the User tab.
3. Select the account to modify.
If you are logged in as admin, you can change the password of your own account, peer admin
accounts, switchadmin accounts, and user accounts. You can also change the root or factory
account passwords.
If you are logged in as a switchadmin, you can only change the password of your own account.
4. Click Change Password.
The Set User Account Password dialog box displays.
If you are changing the password of an admin account, you must also provide the current
password. You do not need to provide the current password if you are changing the password
of a lower-level user account.
5. Type the current password of the account. This step is required only if you are changing the
password of your own or a peer admin account.
6. Type the new password of the account.
The new password must have at least one character different from the old password.
Passwords can be from 8 through 40 characters long. They must begin with an alphabetic or
numeric character. They can include alphanumeric characters, the dot (.), and the underscore
(_). They are case-sensitive.
Passwords must also meet any additional password rules that were set up. (See the procedure
“Setting the rules for passwords” on page 222 for more information.)
7. Retype the new password in the Confirm Password field.
8. Click OK.
9. Click Apply to save your changes.
