Chapter 12 Command Line Interface Reference
username password
• You can re-enter an encrypted password using the normal username password command. Enter the
encrypted password in single or double quotes, starting with 9 and a single space. For example,
copying and pasting password "9 ea9bb0c57ca4806d3555f3f78a4204177a" from the example above
into the username pat command would create an entry for pat in the username database. The user
named pat would have the same password as the user named foo. This functionality allows user
names and passwords to be restored from saved configuration files.
• When entering a password, a zero followed by a single space indicates that the following string is
not encrypted; 9 followed by a single space indicates that the following string is encrypted. To enter
a password that starts with 9 or zero, followed by one or more spaces, enter a zero and a space and
then enter the password string. For example, to enter the password “0 123” for the user named pat,
enter this command:
username pat password “0 0 123”
To enter the password “9 73Zjm 5” for user name lab1, use this command:
username lab1 password ‘0 9 73Zjm 5’
Examples The following example configures two user names (foo and foo2) and password (foopassword and
foo2password):
[SN5428-2A]# username foo password foopassword
[SN5428-2A]# username foo2 password foo2password
To display the user name database, issue the show aaa command. The following is example output from
the show aaa command:
[SN5428-2A]# show aaa
aaa new-model
aaa authentication iscsi default group tacacs+ local none
username foo password <password>
username foo2 password <password>
