Defining a User Name with an Unencrypted Password
Follow these steps to define a user account with an unencrypted password:
1. Use the username password command in Global Configuration mode to define
an unencrypted password for a user account, as shown below:
MOT(config)#username <WORD> password <WORD>
where:
WORD is the user account login name.
WORD defines the user login account password.
For example:
MOT(config)#username newuser password mypassword
Defining a User Name with an Encrypted Password
Follow these steps to define a user account that is encrypted:
1. Use the username password command in Global Configuration mode to define a
password for a user account that is encrypted, as shown below:
MOT(config)#username <WORD> password [0 | 7] {<WORD>}
where:
WORD defines the user login name.
0 specifies that an unencrypted password follows.
7 specifies that an encrypted (hidden) password follows.
WORD defines the user login account password.
2. Automatic encryption is disabled by default. If you want to encrypt the user
account, use the service password-encryption command in Global
Configuration mode as shown below:
MOT(config)#service password-encryption
For example:
MOT(config)#username newuser password mypassword
MOT(config)#service password-encryption
