Caution: Test new passwords before saving the active configuration to the startup configuration
file. To keep your passwords secure, the Matrix DFE Series / N-SA devicedoes not have a
command for displaying passwords.
If you forget a Read-Write or Read-Only password, you can remove it by entering the following
command at the su prompt:
clear system login {
rw | ro}
If you forget the Admin password, it can be reset by toggling dip switch 8 on the device as described
in the the Matrix DFE Series / N-SA Installation Guide for your product.
