Procedure
Step 1
Power up the router.
The LEDs on each power supply light up (green) when the power supply units are sending power to the router,
and the software asks you to specify a password to use with the router.
Step 2
When the system is booted up for the first time, a new username and a password is to be created. The following
prompt appears:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO root-system username is configured. Need to configure root-system
username. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--- Administrative User Dialog ---
Enter root-system username:
% Entry must not be null.
Enter root-system username:
cisco
Enter secret:
Use the 'configure' command to modify this configuration.
User Access Verification
Username: cisco
Password:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#
Step 3
Enter a new password to use for this router.
The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if it is not considered
to be a strong password. To increase the security strength of your password, make sure that it adheres to the
following guidelines:
• at least eight characters
• minimizes or avoids the use of consecutive characters (such as "abcd")
• minimizes or avoids repeating characters (such as "aaa")
• does not contain recognizable words from the dictionary
• does not contain proper names
• contains both uppercase and lowercase characters
• contains numbers as well as letters
Clear text passwords cannot include the dollar sign ($) special character.
Note
If a password is trivial (such as a short, easy-to-decipher password), the software rejects that
password. Passwords are case sensitive.
Tip
When you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.
Step 4
Reenter the password.
