Changing the root password
The root password is created during the initial setup of the security gateway using the LCD panel.
Initially, it is the same as the administrator password.
You use it when you connect directly to the appliance from an SSH connection, and to temporarily
unlock the appliance through the LCD panel.
You can change the root password from the SGMI. When you do, the change takes effect immediately.
Prerequisites
None.
To change the root password
1 In the SGMI, on the System menu, click Change Root Password .
2 In the Change Root Password dialog box, in the Current administrator password text box, type the
password you used to log on to the SGMI.
3 In the New root password text box, type the new root password.
Passwords should only contain lowercase alphabetic characters, and should be at least 10
characters long.
If the LCD panel is locked, the password must be 12 or fewer lowercase letters in order to be
entered on the LCD panel.
The password is encrypted and appears as a string of asterisk (*) characters.
4
In the Verify root password text box, type the new root password again.
5 Click OK .
If the LCD panel is not locked and the new password contains digits or punctuation characters, you
are warned; however, you can still create the password.
If the LCD panel is locked, you cannot create the password unless it contains the required
characters.
