Chapter 3 Configuration Procedures for the Cisco 627
Set Passwords
Set Passwords
After you have configured your system, you should pick new passwords for both
the
enable
and
exec modes
. Keep in mind that the
enable
mode provides all the
functionality of a system administrator for the CPE. Examples of good and bad
passwords are:
•
Good Password—77ta99y (Do not use the sample password.)
•
Bad Passwords—Passwords such as your name; or your street address, or
home telephone number are too predictable.
Use the
set password
command to change both the enable and exec passwords as
in the following:
Step 1
To change the password enter:
cbos# set password mode new password
Example:
set password enable 33Low44PassMe
set password exec 44High55Pass
Step 2
To save your changes, enter:
cbos# write
Step 3
To exit CBOS, enter:
cbos# quit
Save Configuration Changes
Use the
write
command to save any changes you have made during provisioning
to the NVRAM configuration file:
cpe627# write
Caution
If you do not use the
write
command after changes, all the changes
you made during your current session will be lost when you reboot
the Cisco 627.
