I'm very much a noob when it comes to issuing PIX firewall commands. I recently needed to update the PPPOE login information after we had some issues with our DSL connection.
SHOW VPDN USERNAME provided me with:
vpdn username meatball@bellsouth.net password ******** store-local
I then typed the following hoping to update the password:
VPDN USERNAME meatball@bellsouth.net PASSWORD abc123 store-local
After pressing enter, I got:
TYPE '?' OR HELP FOR A LIST OF COMMANDS
PIXFIREWALL#>
Since I kept getting the suggestion to type HELP and since my new password never worked, I'm assuming something is wrong with the command I typed. Is it a syntax issue?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I simply typed the command out - notice the PASSWORD that you had is all lower case. Try to copy and paste that I have below.
ASA-5505(config)# vpdn username meatball@bellsouth.net password abc123 store-local
ASA-5505(config)# sh run vpdn
vpdn username meatball@bellsouth.net password ***** store-local
Here is the command ref:

Kureli,
I'm not sure I follow you. If you are talking about my using ALL CAPS in my command, I merely typed it that way in my original post for emphasis. I actually typed the command in all lowercase exactly as you did:
PIXFIREWALL#> vpdn username meatball@bellsouth.net password abc123 store-local
Since the username contains the symbols '@' and '.', does the username need to be offset by quotes or something similar?
Thanks.
