ERS5500: How to delete/edit a local user account?

[Peter Nguyen]

Hi all,

ERS V. 6.2.1 with no password security:
to create a username "test" with clear text password "seasame":
SW6(config)#username test seasame 

but by default, this is the ro password.  If you try again, it won't allow you to change this account to rw
SW6(config)#username test seasame rw
% The read-write username and the read-only username must be different.

You cannot delete this user either:
SW6(config)#no username test
                   ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Anyone has solution for this?

Regards,
Peter.

They way to remove a username would be to run the command again with a different username. You cannot delete a RO or RW Local Account. There has to be two usernames (one for RO and one for RW)

so run the following commands.

username ro user ro
username rw secure rw

that will set it back to default ro:user and rw:secure

and then run

username test seasame rw

and your two accounts will be the follwoing

rw access - test:seasame
ro access - ro:user

Good Luck.

Thank you Jon for the solution
