Resetting the Login Password of a Local User

Scenarios

Forgotten, lost, or expired passwords may cause login security accidents. To reduce password login risks, you can change user login passwords in batches.

Notes and Constraints

• You are not allowed to change the password of system administrator admin. It can only be changed in the Profile module as user admin.
• Batch password reset assigns the same password for all users. If your password was reset this way, change it on your first login.
• Batch password reset applies only to non-logged-in users. To change your own password, go to the Profile module.
• Plaintext passwords cannot be viewed or exported.
• For users with remote authentication enabled, their passwords can only be changed on the remote authentication server, not in the bastion host system.

Prerequisites

Your role has the management permission for the User module. You can check permissions assigned to a role in Role.
