Global configuration mode
Currently, simple encrypted passwords can be configured with only level 15 and take effect only when no
secure encrypted password is configured.
If you configure a simple encrypted password with a non-15 level, a warning is displayed and the password
is automatically converted into a secure encrypted password.
If the level 15 simple encrypted password and secure encrypted password are configured the same, a
warning is displayed.
If you specify an encryption type and enter a password in plaintext, you cannot re-enter privileged
EXEC mode. An encrypted password cannot be retrieved once lost. You have to configure a new
password.
