Which command should you use to configure a password for the root account on a Junos OS device?

To configure a password for the root account on a Junos OS device, the appropriate command is designed specifically for managing root authentication. Configuring the root password is essential for securing access to the device's administrative functions.

The command that correctly sets the root password directly addresses this requirement by clearly indicating that it is related to authentication for the root user. This specificity ensures that the command will successfully implement the necessary security measures for the root account. The command's syntax is consistent with Junos OS conventions, focusing on system-level configurations and user authentication.

In contrast, commands associated with user passwords or admin roles do not directly pertain to the root account, which is why they would not achieve the intended outcome of setting a password for root access.
