Creating Secrets

This example generates a secret for the password rocket, and creates a secret for privilege level 15.

1. Enable and configure the secret. The 0 keyword specifies that you are entering an unencrypted secret.

   host1(config)#enable secret level 15 0 rocket

2. Display the secret.

   host1(config)#exit
   host1#show secret
