Changing the NAM CLI Passwords with Catalyst Operating System Software

You can use these methods to change and recover passwords:

• Use a Telnet connection to the NAM and CLI.

You can configure, change, and recover root and guest passwords:

–

To change the password, use a Telnet connection to the NAM, and then use the password

command to change the password.

–

To recover the password, use the Telnet connection to the supervisor engine, and then use the

clear module password module command.

–

If you forget or lose the password, you can enter the clear module password command from the

switch CLI to restore the password for the root account to root and the guest account to guest.

–

To restore the NAM password to the factory-set defaults, enter this command in privileged

mode:

Console> (enable) clear module

password module

• Use NAM Traffic Analyzer on the local database.

You create the initial NAM Traffic Analyzer application user with the CLI. After starting NAM

Traffic Analyzer, you can establish and edit additional user passwords. You use NAM Traffic

Analyzer or the TACACS+ server to change passwords as follows:

–

As the NAM Traffic Analyzer application administrator, you can reset passwords.

–

If the administrator is unknown, you can use the CLI to remove the local web user database from

the web database with the rmwebusers command.

• Use the instructions in the TACACS+ server documentation.

Note 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.

If you have not changed the password from the factory-set default password, a warning message appears

when you log into the NAM.
