Explanation

Login local is required to implement SSH in this case because we are not using AAA authentication. But password service-encryption is not needed because all it does is encrypt any plaintext passwords displayed in the running configuration. It has nothing to do with SSH. For example, you can configure a plaintext password for Telnet access, do service password- encryption to scramble it in the running config, but then when you Telnet into the device, sniff the packet and see that the password is still in plaintext.
