#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Configures a password to be used at login on the console, a line or a range of lines. For L2TP, specifies the password for an AAA domain map or tunnel group tunnel. For IP service profiles, specifies the password for the profile. For the local authentication server feature, adds a password to a user entry in the local user database. The no version removes the password.
