When you set the password by using the set authentication password { cipher | simple } password

command, follow these guidelines.

• If the cipher keyword is specified, the password is stored in cipher text. You cannot view the

password by using the display current-configuration command.

• If the simple keyword is specified, the password is stored in plain text. You can use the display

current-configuration command to view the password in the current configuration.

NOTE:

After the firewall reboots, the system runs with the initial default configuration, but the previous

configuration file is still stored in the storage medium. To restore the previous configuration, use the

display saved-configuration command to display the configuration, and then copy and execute the

configuration.

Step4 Save the new password.

[Sysname] save

NOTE:

• To save the new password, execute the save command after modifying the user password.

• HP recommends saving the modification as the default configuration file.
