To create an encrypted password called "mysecretpassword" enter;
ProCurve(config)#enable secret mysecretpassword
When you enter show running-config, this will appear as a line in the running
configuration as follows:
enable secret 5 $1$ZyK.$8NHx2DJBsiGQyhTBmUakz1
where 5 indicates that the password has been encrypted.
To allow passwords to be displayed in an unencrypted format, enter 0 before
you enter the password.
For example:
To create a clear text password called "mypassword" enter;
ProCurve(config)#enable secret 0 mypassword
When you save this setting, it will appear as a line in the running
configuration as follows:
enable secret 0 mypassword
where 0 indicates that the password is not encrypted.
Test all new passwords before saving the running configuration to the Startup
configuration file.
After password protecting access to the CLI, you can still access the switch
without a password by connecting a terminal line configured without
password protection. To password protect terminal lines from users
connecting with Telnet or SSH, see

Specifying Privilege Levels

The ProCurve 8100fl supports two levels of privileges to which you can assign
passwords, level 0 and level 15:
Level 0 places users at the Exec mode and limits their access to the
■
commands at this level.
Level 15 places users at the Privileged Exec mode and allows them full
■
access to the CLI commands.
