2. Select the switches or fabrics for which you want to change the admin password on the SAN
Elements tab, then click the right arrow to move them to the Selected Switches panel.
You can also drag fabrics or switches from the SAN Elements tab directly into the Selected
Switches panel.
3. Type the new admin password in the New Password field.
4. Retype the new password in the Confirm Password field.
5. Click Apply.
If you have not logged in to the selected switches, the switch login dialog displays, allowing you
to enter current login information.
When all of the selected switches have the current login information, Fabric Manager begins to
set the new “admin” account password on each switch in the Selected Switches panel, starting
with the first switch listed and proceeding down the rows in the table one switch at a time.
6. Check the Status column in the Selected Switches table to determine the success or failure of
the password change operation.
The background of the status field changes color to display its status, as follows:
• Yellow indicates that setting the new password is in progress.
• Red indicates the password change failed. An error message displays in the adjacent
Messages column.
• Green indicates success for the new password.
After a switch has a successful new password setting, your saved password for that switch in
Fabric Manager is updated with the new password.
