1.2.1 Switching between User Levels
A user can switch the user level from one to another by executing a related command
after logging into a switch. The administrator can also set user level switching
passwords so that users can switch their levels from lower ones to higher ones only
when they input the correct passwords.

If a password for switching to the user

set and you want to switch to a lower
user level, you will remain at the lower
user level unless you provide the correct
password after executing this command.
Note:
For security purpose, the password a user enters when switching to a higher user level
is not displayed. A user will remain at the original user level if the user has tried three
times to enter the correct password but fails to do this.
