Password Protection

If the system administrator has configured the system to have a password, the CLI prompts you to enter that password before you receive access to Privileged Exec mode. The password is case sensitive and appears as asterisks on the screen.

To access Privileged Exec mode:

At the prompt, type enable and press Enter.host1>enable Password:

At the password prompt, type your password and press Enter.



Password:*********
host1#

Note: The > character in the command-line prompt changes to the # character.
