Configure user name and password
To set up remote access to OS10, create a new user name and password after you configure the management port and default
route. The user role is a mandatory entry.
Enter the password in clear text. It is converted to SHA-512 format in the running configuration. A password must have at least
nine alphanumeric and special characters, and at least five different characters from the password previously used for the same
username.
For backward compatibility with OS10 releases 10.3.1E and earlier, passwords entered in MD-5, SHA-256, and SHA-512 format
are supported.
To increase the required password strength, use the password-attributes command.
