The hashed form of the password is a string of 1 to 110 characters.
The plaintext form of the password is a string of 1 to 63 characters.

Usage guidelines
If you do not specify any parameters, you enter the interactive mode to set a plaintext password.
Only device management users support passwords set in interactive mode.
In non-FIPS mode, a non-password-protected user passes authentication if the user provides the
correct username and passes attribute checks. To enhance security, configure a password for each
local user.
In FIPS mode, only password-protected users can pass authentication. For a device management
user, you must set the password in interactive mode.
