Every logical switch (domain) has a set of default accounts. The root and factory default accounts are reserved for development and manufacturing. The user account is primarily used for system monitoring. For more information on default accounts, see "About the default accounts" on page 59. Table 3 describes the default administrative accounts for switches by model number.

Any characters beyond the eighth character are ignored. Only the default password is subject to the eight character limit. User-defined passwords can have 8 to 40 characters. They must begin with an alphabetic character and can include numeric characters, the period (.), and the underscore ( _ ). They are case-sensitive, and they are not displayed when you enter them on the command line. Record the passwords exactly as entered and store them in a secure place because recovering passwords requires significant effort and fabric downtime. Although the root and factory accounts are not meant for general use, change their passwords if prompted to do so and save the passwords in case they are needed for recovery purposes. To change the default account passwords at login: 1. Connect to the switch and log in using the default administrative account. 2. At each of the "Enter new password" prompts, either enter a new password or skip the prompt. To skip a single prompt press Enter. To skip all of the remaining prompts press Ctrl-c. login: admin Password: Please change your passwords now.
