ACS 5.4 How to change CLI password?

[michael-luo]

Anyone know how to change the ACS 5.4 CLI password?

I found the command "acs reset-password".  But it seems to reset the GUI password instead of CLI password.

Thank you very much!

If you already know the current admin CLI password so to reset the password for the ACS CLI admin you'll have to use the "username" command.

Reference:  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.4/command/reference/cli_app_a.html#wp1896348

The DVD is used to reset the password in situations where the password has been lost/forgotten.

Thanks for the info.

I SSH into it but didn't see the 'username' command.  Did I miss anything?

Thanks again!

Please use the username command in Configuration mode.
