Parameter
level: Specifies the entering password of the specified priority, ranging from 1 to 3. The
default value is 3, i.e. do not specify user level. It means the password to be set is used
for entering level 3.
simple: Displays the current password with plain text.
cipher: Displays the current password with cipher text.
password: If the authentication is in the simple mode, the password must be in plain
text. If the authentication is in the cipher mode, the password can either be 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,
huawei918. The length of an encrypted password must be 24 digits and in encrypted
text, for example, _(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.
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.
