• At least two numeric characters
• At least two special characters

Local accounts with encrypted passwords
You can create local user accounts with MD5 encrypted passwords using one of the following
methods:
• Issuing the service password-encryption command after creating the local user account with a
username <user-string> [privilege <privilege-level>] password 0 command
• Using the username <user-string> create-password command
NOTE
To create an encrypted all-numeric password, use the username <user-string>
create-password command.
If you create a local user account using the commands discussed in “Local user accounts with
unencrypted passwords” on page 134, you can issue the service password-encryption command to
encrypt all passwords that have been previously entered.
Example
Brocade(config)#username wonka privilege 5 password willy
Brocade(config)#service password-encryption
Creating a password option
As an alternative to the commands above, the create-password option allows you to create an
encrypted password in one line of command. Also, this new option allows you to create an
all-numeric, encrypted password.
You can enter.
Brocade(config)#username wonka privilege 5 create-password willy
Syntax: [no] username <user-string> [privilege <privilege-level>] create-password
<password-string>
You can enter up to 48 characters for <user-string>. This string can be alphanumeric or
all-numeric.
The privilege parameter specifies the privilege level for the account. You can specify one of the
following:
• 0 – Super User level (full read-write access)
• 4 – Port Configuration level
