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
