 Password Type – Specifies the following options:
 No Password – No password is required for this user to log in.
 Plain Password – Plain text unencrypted password.
 Encrypted Password – Encrypted password.
The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy password settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when
reading the configuration file during system bootup or when downloading the configuration file from a TFTP or FTP server.
There is no need for you to manually configure encrypted passwords.
