Am using X460-24x, trying this in only one switch.

Thank you, let me try this now.

Hi Dineshkumar,

The script in Netsight Command Script tool for XOS devices would be the following:

If you want to apply the change but not save the configuration you can use:

configure account admin password
@SLEEP 1
Test123 <= Current pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass confirmation
@SLEEP 5
exit
@SLEEP 1
No

If you want to include the "save" option it would be the following:

configure account admin password
@SLEEP 1
Test123 <= Current pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass confirmation
@SLEEP 1
save
@SLEEP 1
Yes
@SLEEP 5
exit

As already recommended, please be familiar with this Netsight tool by testing the script in 1-2 switches before applying it to all units.

What switch do you have?

See the following.
Depending on your device, the script here may need to change.
I also recommend trying it on several devices at a time, rather than trying the whole lot at one time in case something goes wrong, you limit it in scope.
