Performing Initial Software Configuration on SRX100 Services Gateway Using CLI

4. Configure an administrator account on the device

User accounts provide one way for users to access the router or switch. For each account, you define the login name for the user and, optionally, information that identifies the user. After you have created an account, the software creates a home directory for the user.

To create user accounts, include the user statement at the [edit system login] hierarchy level: command syntax is shown below

[edit]
root@#set system login user <username> authentication plain-text-password

If you configure the plain-text-password option, you are prompted to enter and confirm the password:

New password: type password here

Retype new password: retype password here

Example :

root@#set system login user admin authentication plain-text-password

New password:rootpass

Retype new password: rootpass
