Removal of the default Telnet password 9.0(2) To improve security for management access to the ASA, the
default login password for Telnet was removed; you must
manually set the password before you can log in using
Telnet. Note: The login password is only used for Telnet if
you do not configure Telnet user authentication (the aaa
authentication telnet console command).
Formerly, when you cleared the password, the ASA restored
the default of “cisco.” Now when you clear the password,
the password is removed.
The login password is also used for Telnet sessions from the
switch to the ASASM (see the session command). For
initial ASASM access, you must use the service-module
session command, until you set a login password.
We modified the following command: passwd.
