KB44814 - How to update password in clear text using REST API

Example: Updating password of System Local User

If the user account is created under GUI then by default "strong hash and password salt" parameter will append for security and you will not be able using password-cleartext. These two are mutually exclusive ones
However, if the user is created through REST, it won't have a salt until the password is modified. 

This is working as per the design and below step will solve the problem and will not be any impact
