Caution For security reasons, Cisco strongly recommends that you change the root
password from the default password that was supplied in your product package.
Figure 2-22 Password Panel for root User
Step 10 To change the root user password, enter a new password in the first password
field.
Caution When you enter your new root user password, make sure that you only use
passwords that begin with a-z, A-Z or 0-9. Cisco IPICS does not support the use
of special characters as the first character in the root password. If you enter a
special character as the first character in the root password, your root login will
become inoperable and you will need to boot the system in the single user mode
to change the root password and reinstall Cisco IPICS to resolve the problem.
For information about single user mode and changing the root password, see
Appendix A, “Changing the Cisco Linux Root Password.”
