<user>
Used by MLPP administrators to reset the password of a user with a lower authorization level (for example, from Installer level, you can reset a Maintenance1-level password).
The command is entered from a CDE/Maintenance terminal connected to the RS-232 port on the 3300 ICP.
When Enhanced Login Security is enabled on the Security Options Assignment form in CDE (a requirement for MLPP), passwords must contain at least one special character, one number, and a mixture of upper and lower case letters and cannot contain repeating characters such as "aaa", or the username.
The valid characters for passwords are:
! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _ ' a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | }
For optimum system security, it is recommended that passwords be changed frequently at irregular intervals. Default passwords, including those assigned to the default user accounts (System, Installer, Maintenance2, and Maintenance1) must be changed to unique, secure values.
Passwords will revert to their default values after a software upgrade or a Data Restore operation.
Once the Reset Password command (or Change Password command ) is used to overwrite the default password, it cannot be used again until the Password Expiry period has elapsed.
Passwords will become invalid if they are allowed to expire. Set the default expiry interval on the Security Options Assignment form, and the per-user expiry interval on the User Authorization Profile form.
To change the password for the current user level, use the Change Password command.
A log is created when an administrator resets someone else's password. No log is created when the administrator resets his own password.
WARNING: MITEL recommends that system-level users keep a written copy of their system-level username and password in a secure place. If a system-level username or password is forgotten, system-level access to the system will be denied. Neither the system-level username nor password is recoverable. Therefore, it is vital that both be known before logging out after making changes to either the system-level user name or password.
