Changing the NAM CLI Passwords with Cisco IOS Software
If you have not changed the password from the factory-set default, a warning message displays when
you log in to the NAM.
You can use the web application on the local database. If the administrator is unknown, you can use the
CLI to remove the local web users from the web user database with the rmwebusers command.
Note New passwords must be at least six characters in length and may include uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and punctuation marks.
Note For the WS-SVC-NAM-1 and WS-SVC-NAM-2 module, if the NAM maintenance image passwords are
lost for the root or guest account, the maintenance image must be upgraded. After the upgrade, the
passwords are set to the default. See Table 4-1 on page 4-2 or Table 4-4 on page 4-12.
To change the password, follow these steps while you are logged in to the root account on the NAM:
Step 1 Enter this command as follows:
root@localhost# password username
To change the root password, make a Telnet connection to the NAM and then use the password root
command.
To change the guest password, make a Telnet connection to the NAM and then use the password guest
command.
Step 2 Enter the new password as follows:
Changing password for user root
New UNIX password:
Step 3 Enter the new password again as follows:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
This example shows how to set the password for the root account:
root@localhost# password root
Changing password for user root
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
If you forget or lose the password, you can enter the clear module pc-module module-number password
command from the switch CLI to restore the password for the root account to root and the guest account
to guest on the application image.
