Global configuration mode.
The password falls into "password" and "security" passwords. The
"password" is simple encryption password, which can be set only for
level 15. The "security" means the security encryption password,
which can be set for level 0 ~ 15. If the two kinds of passwords exist
in the system at the same time, the "password" type password will not
take effect. If a "password" type password is set for a level other than
15, an alert is provided and the password is automatically converted
into the "security" password. If "password" type password is set for
level 15 and the same as the "security" password, an alert is
provided. The password must be saved in encrypted manner, with
simple encryption for the "password" type password and security
encryption for the "security" type password.
The example below configures the security password as pw10:
DES-7210(config)# enable secret 0 pw10
