Am very new to vyos so apologies in advance for any mistakes & thanks a ton in advance!..
Using vyos 1.1.18 (helium), Trying to create a user ‘admin’ with password using the command ‘configure’ & then ‘set system login user admin authentication plaintext-password test123’ but it’s not working…when I type ‘commit’ it gives me the following error

vyos@vyos# set system login user admin authentication plaintext-password test123
[edit]
vyos@vyos# commit
[ system login ]
removing vyos not listed in current configuration
userdel: user vyos is currently logged in
Attempt to delete user vyos failed: No such file or directory at /opt/vyatta/sha
re/per15/Vyatta/Login/User.pm line 239.
[[system login]] failed
Commit failed

Hello @xique, I think you before runs command :
vyos@vyos# delete system login user vyos
You can run command discard and then set system login user admin authentication plaintext-password test123 After you relogin as new user admin, you can remove user vyos

ps:/ Also version 1.1.x EOL, you can try use rolling release
