Hi, I' v assigned to the operator of FortinetB200 v4.0 MR2. Now I have to change this password from CLI. 1. Connect to the FortinetB200 from telnet client. ID:admin passwd:<current_passwd> 2. # config system admin # edit admin # set password <new_passwd> # end Then, is there no need to save a current configuration to the flash? Cisco products require to save a running_config to a startup_config, such as " copy running-config startup-config" . regards, okumura

    Show is what is configured, get is what is active. Show full is more like get.. the " tree" command is also something you should try :) It shows you the available commands from the point where you execute it. So if you are in the root you get everything, but under config system interface you only get the commands that are available there. [edit] forgot to mention that you should be carefull running the tree command on the console port.. it takes a while to show the output with only 9600 baud :P [/edit]
