Changing Sensor CLI password

This article provides steps to change the password of a Vectra Sensor CLI password.

If you need to change the password for the Vectra user on the Sensor, you can do so by logging to the sensor CLI and following the command below:

vscli >  set password
(current) password: ************
Passwords must be at least 8 characters long and contain at least
1) one digit (0-9)
2) one upper case letter (A-Z)
3) one lower case letter (a-z)
4) one symbol (~!@#$%^&*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/)

Enter new password: ************
Re-Enter new password: ************
new passwd entered
Password Change: success

vscli > set password -h
Usage: set password

  Change the system password - not available on sensors if password managed by
  brain

Note: While the sensor is paired to the brain, using "set password" command on the sensor CLI will not work and is not supported.

If you are unable to change the password or log into the CLI, please contact Vectra Support at [email protected] for further assistance.
