Working with passwords

SL-APM has no factory-assigned password. You can set a password and enable or disable a password (if
you have set a password). SL-APM has an override switch if you forget your password. For more information,

see "Using the security override (on page

57

)".

SL-APM has only one login account. This account is the “Administrator” account. If a password is assigned

to the administrator account, the password is stored on the SL-APM controller. If you move the controller to
another SL-APM enclosure, the password moves with the controller.
Configuring Ethernet requires a password.

Setting SL-APM passwords

To set the password, enter SET PASSWORD.
You are prompted for a password when you access SSH, Telnet, or serial port access to the SL-APM. You can

have only one password for SL-APM.
The password must be between 8 and 31 characters, and can include:

Uppercase letters

Lowercase letters

Underscores (_)

Dashes (-)

At signs (@)

Pound signs (#)

Carets (^)

Ampersands (&)

Exclamation points (!)

Plus symbols (+)

Equal symbols (=)

Tilde (~)

Numerical values between 0–9

To save and enable the password, press Enter.
Alternatively, you can set the password by entering SET PASSWORD <”password”>. For example, enter

the following:
SET PASSWORD "alphabravo"
