Note New passwords must be at least six characters in length and may include uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and punctuation marks.
To change a password, follow these steps while logged into the NAM as root:
Step 1 Enter this command as follows:
root@localhost# password username
Note In NAM software release 2.2, the username argument is required.
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 password command from the CLI to
restore the password for the root account to root and the guest account to guest.
Resetting the NAM with Catalyst Operating System Software
If you cannot reach the NAM through the CLI or an external Telnet session, enter the reset mod_num
boot_string command to reset and reboot the NAM. The reset process requires several minutes.
When the NAM initially boots, by default it runs a partial memory test. To perform a full memory test,
enter the set boot device bootseq mod# mem-test-full command. This command is specific to
Catalyst operating system software and is not available in Cisco IOS software.
Note The mem-test-full option is applicable only for WS-SVC-NAM-1 and WS-SVC-NAM-2.
For Cisco IOS software, refer to the “Resetting the NAM with Cisco IOS Software” section on page 4-4.
