The <days> variable specifies the number of days before the password expires. Enter 1 – 365 
days. The default is 90 days. 
The enable strict-password-enforcement command must be enabled before this command is

"Password expire time is enabled 
only if strict-password-enforcement is set".
Issue the show user command to display the password expiration date, as shown in bold in the

Creating an encrypted all-numeric password
To create a password that is made up of all numeric values, use the command "username 
<user-string> privilege <privilege-level> password <password-string>." 
BigIron RX# username customer1 create-password 9999
Syntax: [no] username <user-string> create-password <password-string>
The create-password option allows you to create a password with a numeric value in the 
<password-string> variable. The generated password will be encrypted. The show running-config 
command displays the password as shown.
