Parameter
level: Specifies the entering password of the specified priority, ranging from 1 to 3. 
The default value is 3, i.e. do not specify user level. It means the password to be 
set is used for entering level 3.
simple: Displays the current password with plain text.
cipher: Displays the current password with cipher text.
password: If the authentication is in the simple mode, the password must be in 
plain text. If the authentication is in the cipher mode, the password can either be 
in encrypted text or in plain text. The result is determined by the input. A plain text 
password is a sequential character string of no more than 16 digits, for example, 
3com918. The length of an encrypted password must be 24 digits and in 
encrypted text, for example, _(TT8F]Y5SQ=^Q‘MAF4<1!!.
Description
Use the super password command to configure the password for changing the 
user from a lower level to a higher level. In order to prevent unauthorized users 
from illegal intrusion, user ID authentication is performed when users switch from 
a lower level to a higher level. For the sake of confidentiality, on the screen the 
user cannot see the password that he entered. Only when correct password is 
input for three times, can the user switch to the higher level. Otherwise, the 
original user level will remain unchanged. Use the undo super password 
command to cancel the current settings.
The password in plain text is required when performing authentication, regardless 
whether the configuration is plain text or encrypted text.
Example
# Configure the password to zbr for changing the user from the current level to 
level 3.
