a. Set a password with the command SET PSWD .

3.4.1 Setting the Password

display the password as you enter it.
The password must be a hexadecimal string of characters (0 through 9
and A through F) with a length of exactly sixteen characters. If the string
contains a nonhexadecimal character or is of the wrong length, the SET
PSWD command fails and the following error message is displayed:
?31 ILL PSWD

442ED2FFAC213SE2 (contains S, an illegal character)
If the password character string is of the right length, the console prompts
you to reenter the new password in order to verify that it is correct:
