Setting The Date And Time - Cisco ASA 5505 Configuration Manual

Setting the Date and Time

The enable password lets you access privileged EXEC mode after you log in. Also, this password is used
to access ASDM as the default user, which is blank. The default user shows as "enable_15" in the User
Accounts pane. (If you configure user authentication for enable access, then each user has their own
password, and this enable password is not used. In addition, you can configure authentication for
HTTP/ASDM access.)
