Usage guidelines
If you do not specify any parameters, you enter the interactive mode to set a plaintext password.
In non-FIPS mode, a device management user for which no password is specified can pass
authentication after entering the correct username and passing attribute checks. To enhance security,
configure a password for each device management user.
In FIPS mode, a password is required for a device management user to pass authentication. You
must set the password in interactive mode.

# Set the password to 123456TESTplat&! in plaintext form for device management user user1.
