Change the Root Password

When you have completed the Oracle Configuration Wizard, log in to the Fabric Interconnect, and change the root password:

1. Log in to the Fabric Interconnect as root by entering:

   login as: root
   Password: root
   

2. Change the root password:

   # passwd
   Enter new UNIX password:
   Retype new UNIX password:
   passwd: password updated successfully
   #
   

3. Log out of the Oracle Fabric Interconnect.

   # logout
   

   There is no further need for the direct serial port connection. You can continue with the system configuration using the direct connection if you wish. Or, you can close the connection and complete the system configuration remotely, over a network using SSH.
