Change the Root Password

CONFIGURE > User Management > Local Users > Edit User

For security reasons, only the root user can initially log in to the appliance. Upon initial login the default password must be changed.

Note:Users are prevented from reusing the word “default” as their password. The factory default password automatically expires after a factory reset and users must choose a new password. This policy is applied through the WebUI, Config Shell and CLI.

Tip: Other Users' passwords may be changed using the same procedure by selecting the User's account name under the Username heading.

Note:The password must comply with your company's password complexity policy. See Local Password Policy

To change the password at any time:

1. Navigate to CONFIGURE > User Management > Local Users

2. Click the Root user's Edit User icon below the Actions heading.
   

3. In the Edit User page, if required, enter an optional description in the Description field. Enter a new password in the Password field and re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field.

   
   
   

4. Click Save User. A green banner confirms the password change has been saved.
