See “To Change Root’s Password” on page 37.
Changing Root’s Password
Whatever method is used to enable access to the Web Manager, root must
always log into the OnBoard console and change the password from the
default, which is “cyclades.” The admin user cannot change root’s password,
and root cannot log into the Web Manager to change the password. The
following options are available:
• Until an IP address is available for the OnBoard, the only way that root
can change the root password is to log in locally through the console port.
See Step 1 “To Configure Basic Network Parameters Using a Terminal”
on page 32.
• After an IP address is available for the OnBoard, the remote root user can
use ssh to connect to the OnBoard console and log in from a remote
location and change the password.
T To Change Root’s Password
1. Use ssh to connect to the console using the OnBoard’s IP address or
DNS name.
2. When prompted, login as root.
The default password is “cyclades.”
3. Enter the passwd command, and enter and confirm a new password
when prompted.
OnBoard login: root
Password: cyclades
[root@OnBoard /root]#
[root@OnBoard /root]# passwd
