Changing Password s
Whatever your access level, you will be allowed to change your
password. S elect this option if you wish to edit your setup. You cannot
edit another user’s setup. The screen is illustrated below. The options
are very similar to the Create Users screen. The main differences are the
password fields. You must type in the current password in the ‘Old
Password’ field, before you will be allowed to edit any fields. A
password change requires you to enter the new password twice. The
management facility will verify that the two entries are the same and
implement the new password.
Figure 5-11 Edit User Setup Screen
If you forget your password , but are still logged on , you can initialize the
device (See “ Resetting to Factory Settings ” on page 5-28 ) and the default
users will be restored with their default passwords. All other users will be
erased. Only initialize the device as a last resort as all configuration data
will be returned to the factory set defaults.
If you have forgotten your password but are not logged on, either use
an SNMP application to manage the device or contact another user,
who has Security access level, and ask for a new password.
