[julianamattos]

Hi,

I'm a new user of HPE switchs. I'm working with a few 1920 Sws and there's a default password on cmdline. (512900, o Jinhuma....) What i wanna know is that if is possible to change that password, to assure my security, and make my enviroment more safe.

Hello

Actually this is not the default password for your switch. The 1920 switch is a webbased switch, this means it can only be managed by webbrowser.

I know you find a way to "unlock" the CLI but that is actually for support purposes only. So to answer your question, this password can not be changed. 

You can configure a new local-user on your switch with a password of your own. After configuring this, you will have to login with that user aswell AFTER unlocking the CLI,  if you want to make your switches more secure.

PS: this topic should be under comware switches

Kind regards

Changing the "god-mode" password will hardly increase security.  You have to access the switch with telnet/ssh to begin with, both can be secured with password and a per user ACL specifying source IP
