Hi Team,
I was trying to create a new username in the existing NCS router node.
I am trying to use the secret 5 encryption method .
While committing it is throwing me this error.
"!!% 'LOCALD' detected the 'fatal' condition 'Password is invalid or incorrect'"
The script used is
username test
group root-lr
group cisco-support
secret 5 test123
!
And how can i give the password in encrypted mode .?
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:(config-un)#secret 5 ?
LINE
WORD The encrypted user password string
Thanks in advance

not sure what is the code and device here : worth looking below :
https://community.cisco.com/t5/xr-os-and-platforms/ncs-5500-downgrade-with-dual-rp/td-p/4130724
or in general try secret XXXXX should work i guess here.

Hi Balaji,
Thanks for the details.
As mentioned in the link, i am also observing the same issue .
The Node model is NCS55A2
Version : 6.5.2
Requirement is like I need to create a new local login user credentials with secret 5 encryption.
The script i used is
config t
username test
group root-lr
group cisco-support
secret 5 test123
!
When I am giving the secret 5 password in the clear text, it showing the error.
% Failed to commit one or more configuration items during a pseudo-atomic operation. All changes made have been reverted.
!! SEMANTIC ERRORS: This configuration was rejected by
!! the system due to semantic errors. The individual
!! errors with each failed configuration command can be
!! found below.
username test
secret 5 test123
!!% 'LOCALD' detected the 'fatal' condition 'Password is invalid or incorrect'
Also, While giving the password it is asking for encrypted password.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:uhn2kl2dctk3rc01(config-un)# secret 5 ?
LINE
WORD The encrypted user password string
Thanks in advance
