account. Retype the same password to confirm.

Management Password Policy" on page 632.

Resetting the Password
After you reset the administrator user account and password, you can login to the controller and reconfigure the
enable mode password. To do this, enter configuration mode and type the enable secret command. You are
prompted to enter a new password and retype it to confirm. Save the configuration by entering write memory.
Figure 249 details an example reconfigure the enable mode password. Again, the command you enter displays in bold
type.
User: admin
Password: ******
(host) >enable
Password: ******
(host) #configure terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
(host) (config) #enable secret
Password: ******
Re-Type password: ******
(host) (config) #write memory

Bypassing the Enable Password Prompt
The bypass enable feature lets you bypass the enable password prompt and go directly to the privileged commands
(config mode) after logging on to the controller. This is useful if you want to avoid changing the enable password
due to company policy.
Use the enable bypass CLI command to bypass the enable prompt an go directly to the privileged commands
(config mode). Use the no enable bypass CLI command to restore the enable password prompt.
