Changing the Password
We recommend that setting a password is the first task you carry out
on the unit. Setting a password prevents unauthorized management
access to the unit or stack.
If you forget your password while logged out of the hub, refer to
“Solving Problems With the Command Line Interface”

password by entering it again.
