Changing the default
admin
password
Because the
admin
User profile controls permissions that enable most levels of
activity, access to that login must be carefully restricted. To protect the
admin
login,
change its well-known default password the first time you log into the unit.
Following is the password parameter, shown with its factory default setting:
[in USER/admin]
password = "ascend"
You can specify any password up to 20 characters. All future logins governed by the
admin
User profile must provide the new password.
For example, the following commands change the admin password to
x1!35DPG
:
admin> read user admin
USER/admin read
admin> set password = x1!35DPG
admin> write
USER/admin written
When an administrator Telnets into the Stinger CR ATM DSLAM unit, the system
prompts for the name and password of a User profile and authenticates the
information before allowing the Telnet session. For example:
% telnet 1.1.1.1
Trying 1.1.1.1...
Connected to 1.1.1.1
Escape character is ‘^]’.
User: admin
Password: x1!35DPG
Setting a Telnet password
A Telnet password is a global, system-wide password required for Telnet logins to the
unit. The Telnet password is requested before the system accepts the connection and
prompts for the username. Following are the default parameters associated with
Telnet logins to a Stinger CR ATM DSLAM unit:
Parameter
Setting
Password
Text string of up to 20 characters, which must be entered
by a user to log in with permissions authorized by the
admin
profile. The value is case sensitive.
