SYSTEM MANAGEMENT COMMANDS

Command Usage

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 to manually configure encrypted passwords.

Example

This example shows how to set the access level and password for a user.

Console(config)#username bob access-level 15

Console(config)#username bob password smith

Console(config)#

enable password

After initially logging onto the system, you should set the administrator (Privileged Exec) and guest (Normal Exec) passwords. Remember to record them in a safe place. Use the enable password command to control access to Privileged Exec mode from the Normal Exec mode. Use the no form to reset the default password.
