According changes made in
https://jira.opendaylight.org/browse/NETCONF-1115
we can use encrypted or unencrypted password for the device, but in the netconf-console we can still use only the unencrypted password.
netconf:connect-device -i 127.0.0.1 -p 17830 -U admin -P admin
Maybe we can add posibility to use encrypted password.
-Pe (PasswordEncrypted)
netconf:connect-device -i 127.0.0.1 -p 17830 -U netconf -Pe c5R3aLBss7J8T2VC3pEeAQ==
