You must create a user or administrative account before you can configure that account with a

command to create a user account.
The system prompts you to specify a password after you enter this command. You must enter a
password for this command; passwords cannot be null.
NOTE
Once you issue this command, you cannot have a null password. However, if you want to have a null password (that
is, no password on the specified account), use the

command.
Passwords can have a minimum of 0 character and can have a maximum of 32 characters. Passwords
are case-sensitive; user names are not case-sensitive.

If the account is configured to require a specific password format, the minimum is 8 characters. See
