super password (upgrade-compatible command)

Function

The super password command configures a password for switching a user from a lower level to a higher level.

By default, no password is configured for switching a user from a lower level to a higher level. A password must be configured for switching a user from a lower level to a higher level. Otherwise, the switching fails.

Format

super password [ level user-level ] [ simple simple-password | cipher cipher-password ]

undo super password [ level user-level ]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
level user-level	Specifies the user level to be changed.	The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 15. By default, the system is configured to set a password for a user that changes to level 3.
simple simple-password	Specifies the simple password for changing a user level.	The value is a string of 6 to 16 case-sensitive characters.
cipher cipher-password	Specifies the ciphertext password for changing a level.	If the cipher keyword is not configured, the password is entered in interactive mode and is not displayed in plaintext mode. The value is a string of 6 to 16 case-sensitive characters. An entered password must contain two or more character types, including upper-case letters, lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. The special characters exclude question marks (?) and spaces. If the cipher keyword is configured, the password is entered in plaintext or ciphertext mode. If the password is entered in plaintext mode, requirements for password setting are the same as when the cipher keyword is not configured. If a password is entered in ciphertext mode, the password must be a string of 56 continuous characters. A password is input in plaintext or ciphertext but stored in ciphertext in the configuration file.

Usage Guidelines

This command is available to aid upgrade compatibility. It can only be run during the configuration restoration phase of the upgrade.

When a user with a level lower than the level configured using this command queries the password configured using the display this or display current-configuration command, the password is displayed as asterisks (******).
