Changing the System Password
When accessing the PSAX system, you log in with one of the PSAX-defined
usernames, or a username defined on a remote RADIUS server. The PSAX-
defined usernames, which cannot be changed, and their access permissions
are as follows (details of permissions are provided in Table 5-5):
•
root—This username provides ”super user” access including read/write
and administrative permissions.
•
readwrite—This username provides read/write permission.
•
readonly—This username provides read-only permission.
!
CAUTION:
If you are using the console session for the first time on this PSAX sys-
tem, you are urged to change the initial, default passwords for the three
usernames, root, readwrite, and readonly (see Table 5-7 for guidelines)
during this session.
You can change the password for a username at any time, as needed. How-
ever, you must make this change through the
CONSOLE
port (serial port) on
the CPUn module, because you cannot access user options remotely through
a network.
To change the system password, perform the following procedure.
