### Issuing User Passwords

This section discusses how to issue user passwords.

#### Related Information

See the newpass and set user commands.

#### Starting Point

This procedure assumes that you have signed on as root and already configured the user to whom you will be issuing a password.

#### Procedure

Issue a newpass command that identifies the user (on the name field) to whom this password will be issued.

1. When the system prompts you for a new password, type in the password and then press Enter.
2. When the system prompts you to enter the new password again, type it in and then press Enter.

#### Example

In this example, the newpass command initiates a dialog with the Digi device that results in the user being assigned a password.

`newpass name=edm1001`
