If you need to set the admin account and password using the command line (e.g. in an update script), you can use the config add /user account,password function. The syntax has not changed since firmware V5.
example update script snippet:
config add CMD0 /user admin,ip230 config activate
From this point on, the new account settings are active. Admin account settings of the innovaphone devices are stored in a hidden fashion so they can not be retrieved.
However, if you use this configuration option, the account and password information is practically available in clear text in the config change CMD0 ... line.
To remove this clear text information from the configuration file, you need to perform some additional commands:
config rem CMD0 /user config activate
Please note that there is no need to save the configuration to flash (i.e. perform a config write operation). However, if you have done a save to flash after setting the /user option, then you also need to save it after removing it with config rem.
Alternate Option in Firmware V12r1 and up
You can set the encrypted variable which keeps the account data directly:
vars create CMD0/AUTH px admin,ip230
Although you specify command with plain-text user and password, the account data will show up in encrypted form in the config file later.
