Element		Description
Enable Secret Password		The enable secret password for entering privileged EXEC mode on the
		router. This option offers better security than the Enable Password option.
		The enable secret password can contain between 1-25 alphanumeric
		characters. The first character must be a letter. Spaces are allowed, but
		leading spaces are ignored. Question marks are also allowed.
		Note You can discover an encrypted password, but any password you enter
		must be in clear text. If you modify an encrypted password, it is
		saved as clear text.
		Note After you set an enable secret password, you can switch to an enable
		password only if the enable secret is disabled or an older version of
		Cisco IOS software is being used, such as when running an older
		rxboot image.
Enable Password		The enable password for entering privileged EXEC mode on the router.
		The enable password can contain between 1-25 alphanumeric characters.
		The first character must be a letter. Spaces are allowed, but leading spaces
		are ignored. Question marks are also allowed.
		Note You must enter the password in clear text.
Enable Password		When selected, encrypts all passwords on the device, including the enable
Encryption Service		password (which is otherwise saved in clear text).
		For example, use this option to encrypt username passwords, authentication
		key passwords, console and VTY line access passwords, and BGP neighbor
		passwords. This command is primarily used for keeping unauthorized
		individuals from viewing your passwords in your configuration file.
		When deselected, device passwords are stored unencrypted in the
		configuration file.
		Note This option does not provide a high level of network security. You
		should also take additional network security measures.
