Information
No default values exist for authentication or privacy algorithms and no default password exist. If you 
forget a password, you cannot recover it; the user must be reconfigured. You can specify either a 
plain-text password or an encrypted cypher-text password. In either case, the password will be stored 
in the configuration in an encrypted form and displayed as encrypted in the show running-config 
command.
If you have an encrypted password, you can specify the encrypted string instead of the plain-text 
password. Figure 31-9 shows how to specify the command with an encrypted string.
