It depends on the password you need to change…though he probably means the Privileged Exec. Password. Here you go:

Priv. Exec:

Router(config)#enable password password

Line access:

Router(config)#line [aux|console|vty] line-number [ending line number]
Router(config-line)#password password

vty:

Router(config)#line vty line-number [ending line number]
Router(config-line)#password password

Con:

Router(config)#line con line-number
Router(config-line)#login
Router(config-line)#password password

Hope this helps! I’d highly recommend you get a book to reference about the IOS and Cisco commands – or better yet take a CCNA class. This can be some *awfully* confusing stuff…

What for did you reject Answer 1. That answer lists all the types of a/c’s on the router for which you can change the password and also the methods of how to do it. What more do you want!!! While rejecting an answer, also specify why you did it, so that others attempting to answer that will have some idea as to how to help you out!!!!
