# indestructibility modify

This command modifies the indestructability password and/or the indestructability password restore delay. The password restore delay postpones the effect of a user initiated reset of the indestructibility password.

You can use this command to change the default settings for the first time. After the default settings are changed, this command can only be used when the system is unlocked.
