Configuring a password for a specific user
Configure a new password for a user if the password has expired or locked. Only the administrator
can configure a password for a user.
Before you begin
• You must enable enhanced secure mode in either the JITC or non-JITC sub-modes. It is
recommended that you use the non-JITC sub-mode because the JITC sub-mode is more
restrictive and prevents the use of some troubleshooting utilities.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. Create accounts on the switch for different access levels:
password set–password user-name WORD<1–255>
3. Save the configuration:
save config
Note:
The save config command saves the configuration file with the filename configured
as the primary configuration filename in boot config. Use the command show boot
config choice to view the current primary and backup configuration filenames.
Example
Configure a password for jsmith:
Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#password set–password user-name jsmith
Enter the New password : *********************
Switch:1(config)#Password modified for user jsmith
Switch:1(config)#save config
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the password set-password command.
Variable
Value
user-name WORD<1–255> Specifies the user for which to configure the
password.
Returning the system to the factory defaults
Return the system to factory defaults. Reset the switch to the default passwords and configuration. If
you use this command, the system returns to factory defaults, returns necessary flags to their
default values, and deletes all of the configured user accounts in enhanced secure mode.
