Default command level
2: System level
Parameters
hash: Enables hash-based encryption.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext password.
simple: Sets a plaintext password.
password: Specifies the password string. This argument is case sensitive. If hash is not specified, a
ciphertext password must be a string of 1 to 1 17 characters and a plaintext password must be a string of
1 to 63 characters. If hash is specified, a ciphertext password must be a string of 1 to 1 10 characters and
a plaintext password must be a string of 1 to 63 characters.
Usage guidelines
If you do not specify any parameter, you enter the interactive mode to set a plaintext password string. The
interactive mode is available only on devices that support the password control feature. For more
information about password control commands, see "Password control configuration commands."
When the password control feature is enabled globally by using the password-control enable command,
local user passwords, such as the length and complexity, are under the restriction of the password control
feature and are not displayed, and the password hash cipher command does not take effect.
For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text or hashed form.
This command is not supported in FIPS mode. To configure a local user password in FIPS mode, use the
password-control command.
Examples
# Set the password to 123456 in plain text for local user user1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] local-user user1
[Sysname-luser-user1] password simple 123456
# Set a plaintext password 123456 in interactive mode for local user user1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] local-user user1
[Sysname-luser-user1] password
Password:******
Confirm :******
# Set the password to 123456 in plain text for local user user1, and enable hash-based encryption for
the password.
