Hello sm3013,

The default password should be password.  Here is also a link to a kb that maybe of assistance as well.

You know,  i think you can just use "passwd" on CLI.

I don't have a clean virtual isilon running to test it,  but i'm fairly certain.

mark is right "login as admin and do passwd" ..i tried so its nothing but other unix server

Hi khkris,
,

As mentioned already, the passwords can be changed using the WebUi and the command line by using the passwd command since OneFS is Free BSD based. Isilon also has a command that allows you to change the password of users without having to log out and back in as said user.  To change the root password to pa$$w0rd for example:

#isi auth users modify user --user=root --password=pa$$w0rd

This was taken from the 7.2.1 CLI Administration Guide on page 299 located here:

You can find your specific version by searching "OneFS CLI Administration Guide" (replace with your OneFS version) here:

Password by default never expire, but you can set up the expiration date from the cluster. Access -> Membership& Roles -> FILE:SYSTEM (from dropdown) -> You see all users (Root is one)

Hope this helps

Can some one tell me how the "password can expire" (for root) works?  It is set to yes, but I've never gotten any sort of pop up stating that the password has expired and it needs to be changed.

It doesn't let me set the account expiration date, I get failed to modify user root, Invalid parameter.  I used the calendar to select a date and it enters it as dd/mm/yyyy and when I save it I get the invalid parameter error.  Do you know the CLI syntax?  This is what I've come up with so far - isi auth users modify root expiry=2016-07-28.  I get an invalid parameter here too. 

I would think you'd want to issue the command like this instead:

x4102-1# isi auth users modify root --set-password

password:

Then it won't be in cleartext.  This syntax works in OneFS 8.0.0, at least...
