EXEC Commands
Note You cannot delete the default acsadmin user. You can, however, create other users with admin
privileges from the web interface.
After resetting your password and installing a valid license, use the default username (acsadmin) and
changed password, or the username and password for a newly created admin user, to access the ACS CLI
in the ACS Configuration mode.
Up to six users can access the ACS Configuration mode at a time; six users equal six sessions. When one
of the six sessions ends, you must wait up to five minutes for the session to be available to another user.
To leave the ACS Configuration mode, type exit or press Ctrl-d.
After you provide valid login credentials, ACS prompts you to change your password for any of the
following reasons:
• Password expiration.
• Account inactivity.
• acs reset-password command issued.
• Super administrator has selected Change password on next login for an admin account through
GUI.
When ACS prompts you to change your password, enter your old password, then a new password
(conforming to the password policy), and confirm your new password (repeat the new password that you
specified).
If you fail to change your password when you are requested to, you cannot log in to ACS Configuration
mode.
