Issue Description

Alarm Information
When the command for using a default password is run, an error message is displayed.
 
Handling Process
Before the cutover, the software version of the NE40E-X8 is ne40e80ev6r1c00spc800.
 
After the cutover, the software version of the NE40E-X8 is changed from ne40e80ev6r1c00spc800 to V600R007C00SPC300. The target version does not support the command for specifying a default password.
Therefore, although the configuration file contains the command for specifying a default password in V600R007C00SPC300, this target version does not support this command.
