Skipping all user privilege passwords

IMPORTANT:

 To perform this task, make sure password recovery capability is enabled. If the capability is disabled,

you cannot perform this task.

 This task applies only to console login users. All other types of users such as Telnet users must always

provide the password to switch to a higher password-protected user privilege.

 This task is a one-time operation. It takes effective only for the first system boot or reboot (option 1 and

option 0 in the EXTEND-BOOTROM menu) after you perform the operation. If you do not change the

user privilege password settings, the original settings continue to take effect for console login users for

the subsequent reboot.

Each user privilege is assigned the right to access a set of commands. You can configure a password with

the super password command to protect a user privilege. To switch to a password protected user

privilege from a lower privilege for accessing higher level commands, a user must provide the correct

password.

If you cannot remember the passwords, enter 8 in the EXTEND-BOOTROM menu to have the system start

up with the next-startup configuration file with all user privilege passwords ignored.

Enter your choice(0-9): 8
