Zyxel OLT2412 [53/326] Changing the administrator password

OLT2412 User’s Guide 53

CHAPTER 5

Initial Setup

This chapter identifies tasks you might want to do when you first configure the OLT.

5.1 Changing the Administrator Password

Note: It is recommended you change the administrator password from the default.

Use this command to change the administrator password.

admin-password <pw-string> <Confirm-string>

where <pw-string> may be 1-32 alphanumeric characters long.

5.2 Changing the Enable Password

Every command has a privilege level (0-14). Users can run a command if the session’s privilege

level is greater than or equal to the command’s privilege level. The session’s privilege level initially

comes from the login account’s privilege level. The admin account has a privilege level of 14, so the

administrator can run every command. You can create other accounts with lower privilege levels.

The enable command raises a session’s privilege level to 14. The enable command is available in

user mode or enable mode, and users have to know the enable password.

Note: It is recommended you change the default enable password.

Use password <password> to change the enable password. The <password> may be 1-32

alphanumeric characters long.
