If you are using a non-root account, you are not allowed to create or remove user accounts. Only the root administrator account (named "netscreen" unless it was changed) is allowed to create or remove admin user accounts. If you're logged on with the root administrator account you should be able to remove it with the unset command.
Hope that helps. Dave David W.

I know we shouldn't have a device with no backup; all things that will be fixed going forward. I just want to be sure we aren't sitting wide open for remote access on the box right now. Any help is appreciated. Specifically, I need to remove the following: set admin user "<<user>>" password "<<hashed pass>>" privilege "all" set admin mail mail-addr1 "<<email>>" I'm having trouble removing the configurations from both the CLI and web interface. I believe my account is allowed full read-write capabilities... <device>-> get ssh SSH V2 is active SSH is enabled SSH is ready for connections Maximum sessions: 6 Active sessions: 1 Admin Ip Addr Vsys Auth Method Service ---------- --------------- ---------- ------------ -------- <<my usr>> <<my ip>> Root password console _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
