Defining Users
The default username/password is cisco/cisco. The first time that you log in with
the default username and password, you are required to enter a new password.
Password complexity is enabled by default. If the password that you choose is not
complex enough (Password Complexity Settings are enabled in the Password
Strength page), you are prompted to create another password.
Setting User Accounts
The
User Accounts
page
enables entering additional users that are permitted to
access to the switch (read-only or read-write) or changing the passwords of
existing users.
After adding a user (as described below), the default user is removed from the
system.
NOTE It is not permitted to delete all users. If all users are selected, the Delete button is
disabled.
To add a new user:
STEP 1 Click Administration > User Accounts. The User Accounts page is displayed.
This page displays the users defined in the system and their user privilege level.
STEP 2 Select Password Recovery Service to enable this feature. When this is enabled, an
end user, with physical access to the console port of the device, can enter the
boot menu and trigger the password recovery process. When the boot system
process ends, you are allowed to login to the device without password
authentication. Entering the device is allowed only via the console and only when
the console is connected to the device with physical access.
