catalyst 3550 series - How to set logon username?

[Adesh001]

Hi,

I got an catalyst 3550 series switch. I'm trying to figure out how to change the username.

I have a link here that tell you how to reset the password

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_2900xl.html

But it does not indicate how to reset the username. Does anyone know the command to reset the username.

Thanks
Adesh

Hi Adesh

We've spoken before about a similar issue but for a 2600 router.

You should be able to add your own username and password here as well - somewhere between steps 13 and 14 in the link you've attached.

As before, the syntax is the same:

Switch(config)#username yourusername password yourpassword

where yourusername and yourpassword is a username/password you want to use.

This should allow you to access the console with your newly-created username.
