  1. In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click User Authentication > Local Users . The Users page is displayed.
  2. In the User ID column, click user ID 1.
    • NOTE: User ID 1 is the root user account that is shipped by default with CMC. This cannot be changed.

    The User Configuration page is displayed.

  4. Type the new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.
  5. Click Apply. The password is changed for user ID 1.
