SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

You can use the nnmchangesyspw.ovpl script to change the NNMi system password. The NNMi system password is normally set during installation and used for recovery purposes. Only use this command if you want to reset the system password that was set during NNMi installation.

Before running the nnmchangesyspw.ovpl script, run the ovstop command to stop NNMi. After running the nnmchangesyspw.ovpl script, run the ovstart command to start NNMi. This will ensure that the new value for the password is valid immediately.

You must be logged in as administrator on Windows systems or root on UNIX systems to run this script.

Parameters

No supported parameters.

EXAMPLES

You might want to change the system password if you have deleted all other user accounts with administrator privileges, and do not remember the system password value set during NNMi installation.

The nnmchangesyspw.ovpl script does not display the password as you type it in.

When using the nnmchangesyspw.ovpl script, you should see the following messages:

# nnmchangesyspw.ovpl

WARNING: This change may not take affect immediately unless NNM is
         restarted.  Please run ovstop before executing this script,
         and ovstart after execution to ensure the change is immediate.
Would you like to continue? [n] y
Thank you!

Please provide a new password for the system user account.

password: mynewpw
enter password again: mynewpw

System password changed successfully
