- Wouldn't do that , apparently the bug report is already two years old ,avoid using usernames as being mentioned in the Conditions of the bug report.

It means that username and password are too simple?

We have changed to complicated username and password. but the issue is still there.

and i also want to change the number from "0" to "7" . but it does not work. Do you think we need to change it?

V(config)#username asqwert privilege 15 password 7 ?
WORD The HIDDEN user password string

You should not be using type 7 password encryption or md5 hash secret anymore - both very insecure and unsafe.

You should be using type 9 (scrypt) which is now the most secure option available (type 8 also acceptable but consensus that 9 is better):

username test privilege 15 algorithm-type scrypt secret plaintextsecret

That will appear in the config as:

username test privilege 15 secret 9 $9$XDxtW9Ixseuak.$kMOej8hDPlSueAY6NsEMvwSCa51qmm11JBvdPjrF8Ec

FYI: you can't just 'change the number from "0" to "7".' - what follows 7 is the reversibly encrypted version of your plaintext password. It's very easy to decrypt using numerous websites and tools because the encryption algorithm is very basic and well known.

If you enable "service password-encryption" then IOS will encrypt plaintext passwords by default and which encryption type it uses depends on whether you have also enabled aes encryption with master key:

password encryption aes

key config-key password-encrypt <masterencryptionkey>

The master key is stored in secure NVRAM and can never be viewed. If you lose the master key then the passwords can never be decrypted.
