Resolution

Use one of the following workarounds to setup the manager user for enable mode:

Setup a Connection Profile in NCM with the user as "manager", and fill in the manager password. Then, use this profile for your HP switches.
Change the "manager" username on your HP Switches to a user you are using in NCM Connection Profiles. To change the "manager" username, contact your device vendor for detailed steps.

Example commands:

Switch(config)# password manager
Switch(config)# password manager user-name myNCMadmin
