Changing Admin Password on Multiple Switches This section describes how you can set the password for accounts with the role of admin, which includes the default admin account as well as non-default user accounts that have the admin role. You can change the password on a single switch or on multiple nonsecure switches simultaneously. Other accounts with administrator-level privileges, such as "root" or "factory", are excluded. You cannot use a RADIUS server for authentication on a selected switch. You cannot set the "admin" account password on any switches in secure mode.
