USER ACCESS COMMANDS
ENABLE
PASSWORD
enable password
Overview Use this command to set a local password to control access to elevated privilege
levels.
Use the no version of the command to remove the password.
Note that the enable secret (deprecated) command is an outdated alias for the
enable password command.
Secure mode In secure mode, the enable password command allows changing privilege level
up to the level configured for the current user, and will require a password if one
has been configured for that privilege level.
Syntax
enable password [8] <password>
enable password level <1-15> [8] <password>
no enable password [level <1-15>]
Default Level 15
Mode Global Configuration
Parameter Description
<password> The password. The password can be up to 32 characters in length and
include characters from up to four categories. The password
categories are:
• uppercase letters: A to Z
• lowercase letters: a to z
• digits: 0 to 9
• special symbols: all printable ASCII characters not included in the
previous three categories. The question mark ? cannot be used as
it is reserved for help functionality.
8 The parameter 8 means that the password that follows is in hashed
form, not plain text. Do not type this 8 when creating a password
with this command; it is only used in configuration files. In
configuration files, the device prints 8 in front of passwords, to
indicate that it is displaying the password in its hashed form.
Note that the user needs to enter the plain-text version of the
password when logging in.
level Privilege level <1-15>. Level for which the password applies. You can
specify up to 16 privilege levels, using numbers 1 through 15. Level 1
is normal EXEC-mode user privileges for User Exec mode. If this
argument is not specified in the command or the no variant of the
command, the privilege level defaults to 15 (enable mode privileges)
for Privileged Exec mode. A privilege level of 7 can be set for
intermediate CLI security.
