User Guidelines
When the administrator configures a new enable password, this password is
encrypted automatically and saved to the configuration file. No matter how
the password was entered, it appears in the configuration file with the
keyword encrypted and the encrypted value.
If the administrator wants to manually copy a password that was configured
on one switch (for instance, switch B) to another switch (for instance, switch
A), the administrator must add encrypted in front of this encrypted password
when entering the enable command in switch A. In this way, the two switches
will have the same password.
Passwords are encrypted by default. You only are required to use the
encrypted keyword when you are actually entering an encrypted keyword.
Examples
Example 1 - The command sets a password that has already been encrypted.
It will copied to the configuration file just as it is entered. To use it, the user
must know its unencrypted form.
console(config)# enable password encrypted

service password-recovery
Use the service password-recovery Global Configuration mode command to
enable the password-recovery mechanism. This mechanism allows an end
user, with physical access to the console port of the device, to enter the boot
menu and trigger the password recovery process. Use the no service password-
recovery command to disable the password-recovery mechanism. When the
password-recovery mechanism is disabled, accessing the boot menu is still
allowed and the user can trigger the password recovery process. The difference
is, that in this case, all the configuration files and all the user files are
removed. The following log message is generated to the terminal: “All the
configuration and user files were removed”.
