Changing admin password on WF-500 appliance

The following procedure allows administrators to change the administrator password:

1. Log in to the appliance with an SSH client or by using the Console port. Enter a username/password of admin/admin.
2. Set a new password by running the command: admin@WF-500# set password
3. 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.
4. Type exit to log out and then log back in to confirm that the new password is set.

However, should you require this change to remain persistant across reboots, you must commit configuration by running:

admin@WF-500> configure
Entering configuration mode
[edit]
admin@WF-500# commit


Commit job 6 is in progress. Use Ctrl+C to return to command prompt
..99%.....100%
Configuration committed successfully

[edit]
admin@WF-500#

This process will commit the new password to the configuration file which will be used to load the passwords into the active user database upon reboot. If the commit is not performed prior to reboot, the new password will be reset to the old one
