1. In the navigation tree, select Security > Device Passwords. The Device Passwords screen
displays.
2. Click on Change on the right side of the screen. The pane expands to allow you to enter
information.
3. Enter a username, password, and access level.
4. Click on Save to save your entries.
NOTE: Passwords assigned in the WebAgent will overwrite previous passwords assigned in
either the WebAgent, the CLI, or the menu interface. The most recently assigned passwords are
the switch’s passwords, regardless of which interface was used to assign them.
If you lose the password
If you lose the passwords, you can clear them by pressing the Clear button on the front of the
switch. This action deletes all password and user name protection from all of the switch’s interfaces.
The Clear button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned
with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is
installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet. (For more information, refer to "Front
Panel Security" in the chapter titled "Configuring Username and Password Security" in the Access
Security Guide for your switch.)
