Changing Login Parameters
The System Administrator login consists of two components: the user name and the password.
The initial login name is always Admin, but you can change this to suit your needs after
logging in for the first time. The default password, Setup, should be changed as soon as
possible to ensure only authorized access to the router.
For more information about command usage for serial and T1 products, refer to the Command
Reference Guide. This guide is available on the Nortel website: www.nortel.com.

user to change their password on the SR1001. The password must be 3-10 characters.

SR> password
The Secure Router prompts for the current user name.
2
Typ e Admin, and then press Return.
The Secure Router prompts for the old password.
3

The Secure Router prompts for the new password.
4

Administrator Account
This procedure changes the administrator login name (Level 1 access) to a user-specified
name. The default is Admin.
To change the account name:
1
Access the configure mode.
example:
SR> configure term
2 Change the account name.
example:
Nortel/configure> admin_name Greg
This example above changes the Level 1 user name to Greg.
The Secure Router displays a confirming message: “Administrator account name changed to Greg.”
NOTE: Changing the administrator login name does not change the administrator’s password. Use the
password procedure to change the password.
Secure Router Host Name
Use the configure hostname command to assign a host name to the Nortel router. Once
assigned, the host name becomes the command line interface (CLI) prompt name.
