As of LCOS version 9.10, a user password can additionally be changed using the console command passwd even with TACACS+ authentication enabled.
Command | Description |
---|---|
setpass|passwd [-u <User>][-n <new> <old>] | Changes the password of the current user account. In order to change the password without a subsequent input prompt, use the option switch -n while entering the new and old password. In order to change the password of the local user account when authentication by TACACS+ is enabled, use the option switch -u with the name of the corresponding user. If the local user does not exist or the user name is missing, the command aborts. The user must also have supervisor rights, or authorization by TACACS must be enabled. |
