The enable password controls access to the privileged EXEC mode.
To set the enable password, follow these steps:

DUT# configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

DUT(config)# enable password abc123

Define a new password or change an existing password
for access to privileged EXEC mode. By default, no
password is defined


To remove the password, use the no enable password global configuration command.
This example shows how to change the enable password to l1u2c3k4y5. The password
is not encrypted and provides access to level 15 (traditional privileged EXEC mode
access):

DUT(config)# enable password l1u2c3k4y5
