I have a F5 BigIP 1500 system with RedHat v 3.2.25. How do I change the user password?

I have tried login as an admin and then tried

bigip shell
user <username> password none <newpassword>

But it doesn't seem to work.

you can use TMSH command to change the password: tmsh modify auth user password

The software is NOT the RedHat. BigIP has its own OS which is based on Redhat/CentOS, but RedHat ways won't work on BIGIP. Run version in bpshell (or show sys version in tmsh) to get the actual version of the software. Also search http://ask.f5.com for info like this. (eg. SOL3350).

Given the platform, it would likely be either v9.x.x or v10.x.x.
