Can't use Artifactory access token to fetch encrypted password

We want to disable UI access for our build users. They can not use plain-text password for REST APIs for security reasons.

I am trying following to get encrypted password without allowing Build users UI access. - I created one build user(Non admin with UI disabled) - Created access token for that build user using admin account.

When I try to use Token to fetch encrypted password of build user I get following error. 

ANYBRIDGEBUCK:~ jainish.shah$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://jainish.artifactory.com/artifactory/api/security/encryptedPassword
{
  "errors" : [ {
    "status" : 404,
    "message" : "User not found: token:automation"
  } ]

Is there any other way to get encrypted password without using plain-text password or via UI.

The Get User Encrypted Password REST API requires that the request needs to be authenticated using a clear-text password. i.e. when submitting the request to Artifactory, the password provided for authentication needs to be in clear-text.
