in encrypted text or in plain text. The result is determined by the input. A plain text
password is a sequential character string of no more than 16 digits, for example,

Description
Use the super password command to configure the password for changing the
user from a lower level to a higher level. In order to prevent unauthorized users
from illegal intrusion, user ID authentication is performed when users switch from
a lower level to a higher level. For the sake of confidentiality, on the screen the
user cannot see the password that he entered. Only when correct password is
input for three times, can the user switch to the higher level. Otherwise, the
original user level will remain unchanged. Use the undo super password
command to cancel the current settings.
The password in plain text is required when performing authentication, regardless
whether the configuration is plain text or encrypted text.
Example
# Configure the password to zbr for changing the user from the current level to
level 3.
