The following procedure allows administrators to change the administrator password:
- Log in to the appliance with an SSH client or by using the Console port. Enter a username/password of admin/admin.
- Set a new password by running the command: admin@WF-500# set password
- Type the old password, press enter and then enter and confirm the new password. There is no need to commit the configuration because this is an operational command.
- Type exit to log out and then log back in to confirm that the new password is set.
