How to reset/change a user password on a Juniper SRX

CLI Configuration

There is nothing as scary a times as having another person creating a login credentials of a network device then hand them over to you, or giving a number of persons your admin login credentials.

Such moments always come up when you’ll feel like “now I need to be my lord” and make your credentials your private info.

Login into your account from the cli, then follow the instructions listed below:

  1. Switch to configuration mode by typing: user@host> configure

You’ll be switched to a configuration mode

2. Type the next command below:

user@host# set system login user my_user_name authentication plain-text-password

3. You’ll then be prompted to enter

New password:

//type in the password you'll wanna use

4. Retype new password:

//retype the password you just typed

5. Commit changes

user@host# commit

Enjoy!
