Figure 184 Resetting the Password
After you reset the administrator user account and password, you can login to the controller and reconfigure
the enable mode password. To do this, enter configuration mode and type the enable secret command. You
are prompted to enter a new password and retype it to confirm. Save the configuration by entering write
memory.
Figure 185 details an example reconfigure the enable mode password. Again, the command you enter displays
in bold type.

Bypassing the Enable Password Prompt
The bypass enable feature lets you bypass the enable password prompt and go directly to the privileged
commands (config mode) after logging on to the controller. This is useful if you want to avoid changing the
enable password due to company policy.
Use the enable bypass CLI command to bypass the enable prompt an go directly to the privileged commands
(config mode). Use the no enable bypass CLI command to restore the enable password prompt.
Setting an Administrator Session Timeout
You can configure the number of seconds after which an administrator’s WebUI or CLI session times out.
In the WebUI
To define a timeout interval for a WebUI session, use the command:
(host)(config) #web-server profile
(host)(Web Server Configuration) #session-timeout <session-timeout>
