You cannot set a null password. You will have to enter a password to

change the command mode from Normal Exec to Privileged Exec with

the

enable

command.

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.
