USER ACCESS COMMANDS
ENABLE
PASSWORD
enable password
Overview To set a local password to control access to various privilege levels, use the enable
password Global Configuration command. Use the enable password command to
modify or create a password to be used, and use the no enable password
command to remove the password.
Note that the enable secret command is an alias for the enable password
command, and the no enable secret command is an alias for the no enable
password command. Issuing a no enable password command removes a password
configured with the enable secret command. The enable password command is
shown in the running and startup configurations. Note that if the enable secret
command is entered then enable password is shown in the configuration.
NOTE: Do not use encrypted passwords for GUI users. The GUI requires unencrypted
user passwords only - not encrypted user passwords. Do not use option 8 for GUI users.

enable password [<plain>|8 <hidden>|level <1-15> 8 <hidden>]
