I have just tested on a 2960x, specifically hardware cisco WS-C2960X-48FPD-L
and had no issue
2960xswitch(config)#username test privilege 15 secret 5 $1$Oh9i$VEEjjTMjnWVl18hXNoNjR.
WARNING: Command has been added to the configuration using a type 5 password. However, type 5 passwords will soon be deprecated. Migrate to strong password type
2960xswitch(config)#
What hardware type and software version are you running? providing the output of show version will help.

I have tried this C2960X and even when the hash is created fine the SW doesn't accepts it as valid.
Cisco-2960X(config)#username test privilege 15 secret 5 $1$Oh9i$VEEjjTMjnWVl18hXNoNjR. ERROR: The secret you entered is not a valid encrypted secret. To enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, do not specify type 5 encryption. When you properly enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, it will be encrypted.
Is there something on the switch configuration that could make it work for you and not for me? I cannot think of anything in particular.
Thanks
