Chapter 3 Creating and Managing User Accounts
Modifying the Administrator Account Passwords
Note Enter the ? command within a few seconds of seeing the LILO boot
prompt or the GSS device continues to boot. If you miss the time window
to enter the ? command, wait for the GSS to properly complete booting,
cycle power to the GSS device, and try again to access the LILO boot
prompt.
4. At the boot: prompt, enter GSS-<software_version>
RESETADMINCLIPW=1. Use care when entering this command; this CLI
command is case-sensitive.
For example, to specify GSS software version 1.2.1, enter:
boot: GSS-1.2.1 RESETADMINCLIPW=1
If you successfully reset the administrator password, the Resetting admin
account CLI password
message appears on the console terminal while the
GSS device reboots. If the message does not appear, repeat steps 2 through 4
again. Pay close attention when you enter the GSS-<software_version>
RESETADMINCLIPW=1 command.
Changing the Administrator’s CLI Password
You can change the administrator password that accesses the GSS CLI by using
the username global configuration mode command.
The syntax for this command is:

• name—Specifies the username you want to assign or change. Enter an
unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum of 32 characters. Login
names must start with an alphanumeric character.
• password password—Modifies the password used to log in to the GSS CLI.
Specify the password that you want to change. Enter an unquoted text string
with no spaces and a maximum length of 8 characters.
