Usage Guideline
The user account configuration information is stored in the running configuration file and can be applied to the
system later. If the service password-encryption command is enabled, the password will be stored in the
encrypted form.
When the service password encryption option is disabled and the password is specified in the plain text form,
the password will be in plain text form. However, if the password is specified in the encrypted form or if the
password has been converted to the encrypted form by the last enable password encryption option, the
password will still be in the encrypted form. It cannot be reverted back to plain text.
If this command is enabled and no option is specifed, using SHA-1 as the algorithm.
