enable password

Use the enable password Global Configuration mode command to set a local
password to control access to normal and privilege levels. Use the no form of this
command to return to the default password.
When the administrator configures a new enable password, this password is
encrypted automatically and saved to the configuration file. No matter how the
password was entered, it appears in the configuration file with the keyword
encrypted and the encrypted value.
If the administrator wants to manually copy a password that was configured on
one switch (for instance, switch B) to another switch (for instance, switch A), the
administrator must add encrypted in front of this encrypted password when
entering the enable command in switch A. In this way, the two switches will have
the same password.
