Changing the Login Password

The login password is used for sessions from the switch as well as Telnet and SSH connections. By
default, the login password is "cisco." To change the password, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# {passwd | password} password
You can enter passwd or password. The password is a case-sensitive password of up to 16 alphanumeric
and special characters. You can use any character in the password except a question mark or a space.
The password is saved in the configuration in encrypted form, so you cannot view the original password
after you enter it. Use the no password command to restore the password to the default setting.
