To prevent unauthorized users from intruding the system, you must pass the
authentication when you are trying to switch from current user to a higher-level
user. This means that you must enter the password of the higher-level user (if
the super password [ level user-level ] { simple | cipher } line command is
configured). For the sake of security, your entered password is not directly
displayed on the screen. If you enter the correct password within three times,
you will be able to switch to the higher-level user, or you will stay at current
level.
For the related command, see super password.
