Starting...

Re: changing passwords with pcm

The switches expect the password after the command, and after that an enter. This isn't possible with the CLI wizard.

If you have PCM 2.0, there is a policy that does exactly what you want.
Go to the tab "Policies" and select "Device Management: Communication Parameters".
You'll get a wizard interface where you can set new CLI and SNMP parameters, including the passwords which you want to change.
You can choose groups for applying it to multiple switches offcourse.

Hope this helps.
