Each user must have a unique system login account in order to gain access to the C4 CMTS and to the command line interface (CLI).
The "encrypted-password" parameter is not intended for user input. It is used internally in the generation of the running-
configuration to prevent the display of cleartest passwords in configuration files.
Note: If spaces or special characters are used in the password, the entire password string must be enclosed in quotation marks. With
the exception of the question mark (?), any special character that displays properly may be used. If the double quotation mark ("") is
used in the password, then the password string must be enclosed in single quotes (for example, ‘pass"word’). The C4 CMTS accepts
passwords longer than sixteen characters, but only the first sixteen are encrypted, stored, and verified upon logging in; therefore,
creating passwords longer than sixteen characters does not increase security.
To delete a previously defined user, use the no option.
