Hi,
Aru you using FMC or FDM to manage FTD..??

Hello Kumar, I am using FMC. I have created a second admin account on FMC . But this can't be used FTD using SSH or Console. regards Zanga

For FTD if you are not using external authentication then you need to create user account via cli.

>connect ftd
Configure user add username config

then enter the password for the user

How to change the admin password from CLI mode of a FTD and what is the save command from CLI

[Martuza]

Thanks I have got the solution form google as below  and working fine :

1. Log into the appliance via SSH using the admin account.
   • For the Firepower Management Center, by default this gives you access to the shell. If the Firepower Management Center CLI is enabled, this give you access to the CLI.
   • For managed devices this gives you access to the device CLI.
   
   
2. For managed devices, or for a Firepower Management Center with the CLI enabled, enter the expert command to access the shell.
   
   
3. At the shell prompt enter the following command:
   sudo passwd admin
   
   
4. When prompted, enter the current admin password to elevate privilege to root access.
   
   
5. In response to prompts, enter the new admin password twice.

With the custom admin account you can manage only via web gui not to Cli.
For creating users from FMC, Go to System > Users create account.

Hi Zanga
On the CLI:

configure user add config

Password prompts will follow.
