The product console password is the primary means to protect Smart Protection Server from unauthorized changes. For a more secure environment, change the console password on a regular basis and use a password that is difficult to guess. The admin account password can be changed through the Command Line Interface (CLI). Use the "configure password" command from the CLI to make changes.

  1. Log on to the CLI console with the admin account.
