Password change on 3750 switch?

wrainwater

I may not understand how to change a password correctly.

 

When I log into the switch (both telnet and console cable) it gives me the following:

 

telnet x.x.x.x (or plug in via console)

 

password: fakepasswordhere

enable

password fakepassword#2here

 

I am able to change fakepassword#2here by changing the enable secret password. However, the fakepasswordhere remains the same old unsecure password it's been for a while. how do I change this?

post the config of your switch. Do you have 'service password-encryption' configured by any chance ?

 

no service pad
service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime
service timestamps log datetime msec localtime
