Password Tab

The Password tab contains the following fields.
Enable Secret Password
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) supports the enable secret
password. The enable secret password allows you to control who is able to enter
configuration commands on this router. Cisco strongly recommends that you set
an enable secret password.The password will not be readable in the SDM Device
Properties window, and it will appear in encrypted form in the router’s
configuration file. Therefore, you should record this password in case you forget
it.
The Cisco IOS version the router is running may also support the e nable
password. The enable password functions like the enable secret password, but was
encrypted in the configuration file. If an enable password is configured using the
command-line interface (CLI), it is ignored if an enable secret password is
configured.
Current Password
If a password has already been set, this area contains asterisks (*).
Enter New Password
Enter the new enable password in this field.
Reenter New Password
Reenter the password exactly as you entered it in the New Password field.
