Usage guidelines
For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text to the configuration file.
Store the plaintext forms of user privilege level passwords in a safe place. If a user privilege level is
password protected, you must provide the password in plain text when switching to the privilege level
from a lower level.
You cannot configure the super password [ level user-level ] hash cipher password command when the
password-control enable command is configured.
