This is not the normal way around.

But the official way is to do a: set/register <call>, first.

This will create a callsign, if it does not exist, and mark it as 
registered. The fact that you are not registering anybody does not 
matter. It is, in effect, what you are doing by forcing people to have 
passwords.

set/user <call> does not do what you want (for historical reasons, which 
probably no longer apply)
