Changing Password
For security reasons, you are required to change the administrative password at a set interval. You will need
to access this page when the Password Aging Time is up.
Password complexity is enabled by default. The minimum password complexity requirements are shown on
the
Change Password
page. The new password must comply with the default complexity rules, or it can be
disabled temporarily by disabling the

. See
for more information.
To change the default password, configure the following:
•
Username
—Enter a new username. The default name is cisco.
•
Old Password
—Enter the current password. The default password is cisco.
•
New Password
—Enter a new password.
•
Confirm Password
—Enter the new password again for confirmation.
•

•
Password Complexity
—The password complexity is enabled by default and requires that the new
password conforms to the following complexity settings:
• Is different from the username.
• Is different from the current password.
• Has a minimum length of eight characters.
• Contains characters from at least three character classes (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers,
