Password expiry management
You can force all passwords to expire within a certain period of time after they were created.
Accounts with expired passwords are locked and require an administrator to reset the account
using the username command. However, a user can change the password before it expires
using the password command.
Changing a password
About this task
If a password expiration policy is being implemented, it is recommended to change your

that your password will expire in n days.
Procedure
1. Use the password command to change your password.
Enter and confirm the new password.
2. Enter copy running-config startup-config so that the new password
takes effect.
Result
The new password you enter must match the password policies described in User accounts
CLI commands on page 38.
