From the CLI can I update other admin account passwords?

chrisp — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:09:29 GMT

If so, what is the syntax? I see where i can use the "set password" to update the account i'm currently logged on with. Also, if a use has locked out their account can i unlock it from the CLI?

This appears to no longer work.

# set mgt-config users testAdmin $hittyP@$$w0rd

Invalid syntax.

the mgt-config command no longer appears to exist.

It seems the account I was attempting it from was a Device Administrator role rather than a superuser. Once I changed it to Super user, the command is available.

Hi Team,

This is correct syntax

config

#set mgt-config users admin password
Enter password :------------put new pw
Confirm password :------------confirm new pw

Then do the commit
