The authentication modes and passwords of all the devices must be the same in any given area, but can differ between several areas.
When authentication type message-digest is configured, command set protocols ospf area virtual-link message-digest-key md5 can be used to set the md5 password.
When using simple-text authentication type, command set protocols ospf area virtual-link authentication-key can be used to set the password.
