Usage Information
No default values exist for authentication or privacy algorithms and no default
password exists. If you forget a password, you cannot recover it; the user must be
reconfigured. You can specify either a plain-text password or an encrypted cypher-
text password. In either case, the password is stored in the configuration in an
encrypted form and displayed as encrypted in the show running-config
command.
If you have an encrypted password, you can specify the encrypted string instead of
the plain-text password. The following command is an Example of how to specify
the command with an encrypted string.
NOTE: The number of configurable users is limited to 16.
