Command Usage
When a connection is started on a line with password protection, the system prompts for the password. If you enter the
correct password, the system shows a prompt. You can use the password-thresh command to set the number of times a
user can enter an incorrect password before the system terminates the line connection and returns the terminal to the idle
state.
The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy password settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when
reading the configuration file during system bootup or when downloading the configuration file from a TFTP server. There
is no need for you to manually configure encrypted passwords.
Example
Console(config-line)#password 0 secret
Console(config-line)#
