Parameter
cipher: Configure encrypted text password.
simple: Configure plain text password.
password: If the authentication is in the simple mode, the password must be in plain
text. If the authentication is in the cipher mode, the password can be either in
encrypted text or in plain text. The result is determined by the input. A plain text
password is a sequential character string of no more than 16 digits, for example,
huawei918. The length of an encrypted password must be 24 digits and in encrypted
text, for example, _(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.

Using set authentication password command, you can configure the password for
local authentication. Using undo set authentication password command, you can
cancel local authentication password.
The password in plain text is required when performing authentication, regardless
whether the configuration is plain text or encrypted text.
Note:
By default, password is required to be set for authenticating the users connecting via Telnet. If no
password has been set, the following prompt will be displayed "password required, but none set."
