username (Global Config)

Use the username command in Global Config mode to add a new user to the local user
database. The default privilege level is 1. Using the encrypted keyword allows the
administrator to transfer local user passwords between devices without having to know the
passwords. When the password parameter is used along with encrypted parameter, the
password must be exactly 128 hexadecimal characters in length. If the password strength
feature is enabled, this command checks for password strength and returns an appropriate
error if it fails to meet the password strength criteria. Giving the optional parameter
override-complexity-check disables the validation of the password strength.
