Werk #9496: Increase password hashing rounds

Component	Firmware
Title	Increase password hashing rounds
Date	Oct 26, 2022
Level	Trivial Change
Class	New Feature
Compatibility	Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Appliance Version	1.5.5

With this Werk the number of rounds a password is hashed is increased to 800,000. This makes attacks on the hashes much more difficult.

Passwords already set are unaffected by this change and still valid. If you have enabled Console via SSH or Root Access via SSH you should reset the passwords to gain these security benefits.

Please note that the previous default number of rounds was not unsafe.
