Commands for Managing the Switch
If you do not specify the password on the command line, the switch will prompt you to enter the

Your keystrokes are not echoed as you enter and reenter the new password. Assuming you enter the
same password in response to both prompts, the password is changed.
You must use the build command to commit the conÞguration changes made by this command.
