config account <user account> {encrypted} {<password>}
Description
Configures a user account password.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
You must create a user account before you can configure a user account. Use the
create account
command to create a user account.
You must have administrator privileges to change passwords for accounts other than your own. User
names and passwords are case-sensitive.
The
encrypted
option is used by the switch when generating an ASCII configuration file (using the
upload configuration
command), and parsing a switch-generated configuration file (using the
download configuration
command). Do not select the encrypted option in the CLI.
For version 6.1 and higher:
•
The password cannot be specified on the command line. Instead, the switch will interactively
prompt you to enter the password, and will then prompt you to reenter the password to verify that
you have entered it correctly.
For version 6.0 and higher:
•
Passwords must have a minimum of 1 character and can have a maximum of 32 characters.
For version 4.x:
•
Passwords must have a minimum of 4 characters and can have a maximum of 12 characters.
