When you see the "Enter old password" prompt, you can leave it blank
and press Enter if you don't have a password set. The output for the "Enter
new password" prompt doesn't show on the console screen. If you want to
clear the usermode (login) password, type in the old password and then just
press Enter when you're asked for a new password.

You can type exit at this point to log out of the switch completely, which
will allow you to test your new passwords. You can set the session time-out
on the set-based switch by using the set logout command:
Console> (enable) set logout 5
The set logout 5 command will log out an open session not used for
5 minutes.
