password: Password to be set. If you specify the simple keyword, provide this
argument in plain text. If you specify the cipher keyword, you can provide this
argument in either encrypted text or plain text. In this case, a password containing no
more than 16 characters (such as 123) is regarded to be in plain text and is converted
to the
as !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!) automatically. You can also provide a 24-character
encrypted password directly if you are aware of the actual password.
Description
Use the super password command to set the password for users to switch to a higher
user level. To prevent unauthorized accesses, you can use this command to require
users to provide the password when they switch to a higher user level. For security
purpose, the password a user enters when switching to a higher user level is not
displayed. A user will remain at the original user level if the user has tried three times
to enter the correct password but fails to do this.
Use the undo super password command to cancel the configuration.
Note that no matter what form of the password (plain text or encrypted text) is in, the
password entered for verification must be in plain text.
Example
# Set the password to switch from the current user level to user level 3 to "zbr".

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
