password: Password, a case-sensitive string of characters.
• A simple password is a string of 1 to 16 characters.
• A cipher password is a string of 1 to 16 characters in plain text or 24 characters in cipher text. For
example, the simple text "1234567" corresponds to the cipher text
"(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!".
• In FIPS mode, the password must contain at least eight characters and comprise capital letters,
lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
Description
Use super password to set the password used to switch from the current user privilege level to a higher
one.
Use undo super password to restore the default.
By default, no password is set for switching to a higher privilege level.
Use the simple keyword to set a simple-text password.
Use the cipher keyword to set a cipher-text password.
A cipher-text password is recommended because a simple-text password easily gets cracked.
During authentication, you must enter a simple-text password regardless of the password type you set.
