Usage guidelines
This command is not supported in FIPS mode.
This command is available in both user line view and user line class view. A non-default setting in
either view takes precedence over a default setting in the other view. A non-default setting in user
line view takes precedence over a non-default setting in user line class view.
A password change does not take effect for the current session. It takes effect for subsequent login
sessions.
