Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide 611
Sets a temporary password on a remote switch.
Synopsis
sectemppasswdset domain, “login_name”
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to set a unique temporary password for a given account on a specific switch in the
fabric. Use the secTempPasswdReset command to remove the temporary password or reboot the
switch.
You can change any password on any switch. To change the password of an account that has higher
level than that of the current user logged in to the primary FCS switch, you must enter the password of the
same level account on the primary FCS switch.
The password setup on the target is not persistent and will be reset to the secure fabric-wide setting when
this target switch is rebooted or when secTempPasswdReset is run on primary FCS switch.
Each switch has four accounts: root, factory, admin, and user. Root and factory accounts are disabled for
non-FCS switches. This command can enable the root or factory account on a non-FCS switch when you
specify a password for those accounts.
The password should between 8 and 40 characters.
NOTE: This command can be issued only from secure mode and only from the primary FCS switch.
