Purpose This command is used to configure user accounts.

Description When the password information is not specified in the command, the system will prompt the
user to input the password interactively. In this case, the user can only input a plain text
password.
If the user specifies a password in the command, the user can select to input the password in
plain text form or in encrypted form. The encryption algorithm is based on SHA-1.
Parameters
<username> - Specify the name of the account. The account must already be defined.
plain_text - Specify the password in plain text form.
sha_1 - Specify the password in SHA-1 encrypted form.
password - The password for the user account. The length of a password in plain-text form
and encrypted form are different. For a plain-text form password, the password must be a
minimum of 0 characters and a maximum of 15 characters. For an encrypted form password,
the length is fixed to 35 bytes long. The password is case-sensitive.
Restrictions Only Administrator level users can issue this command.
