Command Reference Guide
enable password <password>
Use the enable password command to define a password (with optional encryption) for accessing the
Enable mode. Use the no enable password command to remove a configured password. Variations of this
command include:
enable password md5 <password>
enable password <password>
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing the configuration functions of your device,
immediately define an Enable-level password.
Syntax Description
md5
<password>
Default Values
By default, there is no password configured for the Enable mode.
Command History
Release 1.1
Usage Examples
To provide extra security, AOS can encrypt the Enable password when displaying the current configuration.
For example, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an unencrypted
Enable password (ADTRAN):
!
enable password ADTRAN
!
Alternately, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an Enable password of
ADTRAN using MD5 encryption:
!
enable password md5 encrypted 5aa5fbae7d01a90e79fb57705ce74676
!
60000CRG0-35E
Optional. Specifies message digest 5 (MD5) as the encryption protocol to
use when displaying the Enable password during show commands. If the
md5 keyword is not used, encryption is not used when displaying the
Enable password during show commands.
Specifies the Enable password using a string (up to 30 characters in
length).
