Enabling password control

To successfully enable the global password control feature and log in to the device, the device must have
sufficient storage space.
Enabling the global password control feature is the prerequisite for all password control configurations
to take effect. Then, for a specific password control function to take effect, enable this password control
function.
After the global password control feature is enabled, you cannot display the password and super
password configurations for device management users by using the corresponding display commands.
However, the configuration for network access user passwords can be displayed. The first password
configured for device management users must contain at least four different characters.
To enable password control:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable the global password
control feature.
