4000 Series Set-Based Switch

4000 Series Set-Based Switch
To configure the two passwords on a 4000 series switch, use the command set password for
the user-mode password and the command set enablepass for the enable password:
2001 Mar 21 06:31:54 %SYS-5-MOD_OK:Module 1 is online
2001 Mar 21 06:31:54 %SYS-5-MOD_OK:Module 2 is online
Console> en
Enter password:
Console> (enable) set password ?
Usage: set password
Console> (enable) set password [Press enter]
Enter old password:
Enter new password:
Retype new password:
Password changed.
When you see the Enter old password prompt, you can leave it blank and press Enter if
you don’t have a password set. The output for the Enter new password prompt doesn’t show
on the console screen. If you want to clear the user-mode (login) password, type in the old password
and then just press Enter when you’re asked for a new password.
To set the enable password, type the command set enablepass and then press Enter:
Console> (enable) set enablepass
Enter old password:
Enter new password:
Retype new password:
Password changed.
Console> (enable)
You can type exit at this point to log out of the switch completely, which will enable you
to test your new passwords.
