OK, I finally managed to change it by running:  enable show running-config (check the md5 for both passwords) configure username [user] secret P[NAME] enable secret P[NAME] show running-config (confirm the md5 for both passwords has changed from previous ones) show startup-config (check the md5 for both passwords are still the old ones) copy running-config startup-config show startup-config (confirm the md5 for both passwords are the same as running-config)   Thanks!
Hi, I have a Dell Force10 S50N switch which has a username (it is not 'admin') and a password I know. I can access the CLI via SSH. I need to change that user's password but I don't know how and can't seem to find much information on how to do it online. I have little experience with switches (any brand) and have just been handed one over and now I need to change the password. This is a production switch, so can't really reset it to factory defaults or reboot it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
