Example: Configuring the Root Password

Configure an encrypted password:

You cannot configure a blank password for encrypted-password using blank quotation marks (" "). You must configure a password whose number of characters range from 1 through 128 characters and enclose the password in quotation marks.



[edit]
user@host# set system root-authentication
encrypted-password "$1$14c5.$sBopasddsdfs0" 

[edit]
user@host# show

system {


root-authentication {
encrypted-password "$1$14c5.$sBopasddsdfs0";
}


}

Configure a plain-text password:



[edit]
user@host# set system root-authentication
plain-text-password

New password: type root password

Retype new password: retype root password

[edit]
user@host# show

system {


root-authentication {
encrypted-password "$1$14c5.$sBopasddsdfs0";
}


}
