The password entry for the user module is a crypted password, not a
clear text one.
That will, on a relatively modern system, look something like
$6$saltchars$passchars
for example:-
|$6$0JvQ1LLFESzA16.I$JVdKAIq0igudTq06BMqzT9rL1gRawMPwLr9U3/kBMKUqZdONfa0wubC89C35LKl3aE16CRH57BfGb4ygPLggL1|
[Yes they really are that long]
See
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/52108/how-to-create-sha512-password-hashes-on-command-line
for some info on how to get crypted passwords.
