Local account passwords
The following rules apply to changing passwords:

• To change the password for another account requires admin permissions or an account
associated with a user-defined role with Modify permissions for the LocalUserEnvironment
RBAC class of commands. When changing an admin account password, you must provide the
current password.
• An admin with ADlist 0–10 or LFlist 1–10 cannot change the password on an account with
admin, user, or any permission with an ADlist 11–25 or LFlist 11–128. The user account being
changed must have an ADlist that is a subset of the account that is making the change.
• A new password must have at least one character different from the previous password.
• You cannot change passwords by using SNMP.
