With the F5 BIG-IQ tool you can update the admin and root passwords for all your devices you manage or just a select few and its fast and very easy to do.

When you manage BIG-IP device from BIG-IQ Centralized Management, it is good practice to change the default admin and root passwords on a regular basis. From BIG-IQ, you can change the passwords for several BIG-IP devices at one time.

Note: You can change the passwords for several BIG-IP devices simultaneously only if they have the same password.     Important: The passwords for the BIG-IP devices you select must all be identical.

  1. On the top of the BIG-IQ GUI, click Devices tab.
  2. On the left, click PASSWORD MANAGEMENT > Change Device Passwords .
  3. Near the top of the screen, click the Create button.
