Shell - H3C S5120-SI Series Command Reference Manual

password: Password. The password must be in plain text if you specify the simple keyword in the set
authentication password command. If you specify the cipher keyword, the password can be in either
encrypted text or plain text. Whether the password is in encrypted text or plain text depends on the
password string entered. Strings containing up to 16 characters (such as 123) are regarded as plain text
passwords and are converted to the corresponding 24-character encrypted password (such
as !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!). A encrypted password must contain 24 characters and must be in
ciphered text (such as !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!).
Description
Use the set authentication password command to set the local password.
Use the undo set authentication password command to remove the local password.
Note that only plain text passwords are expected when users are authenticated.
By default, Telnet users need to provide their passwords to log in. If no password is set, the "Login
password has not been set !" message appears on the terminal when users log in.
Examples
# Set the local password of VTY 0 to "123".

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