enable privilege-mode password

Log in to the device using the console or SSH to access Privileged mode. You will be prompted to enter the already configured Privileged mode password. The same password is required to log in to the device even after a reload.

If you want to mask the passsword, use the enable user password-masking command before configuring the privileged mode password. The entered password will be masked and not displayed in clear text.

When aaa authentication enable default command is used to configure the default authentication method list, or when aaa authentication login privilege-mode command is set up on the device to enter the privileged EXEC mode after a successful login through SSH, these methods will take priority over the enable privilege-mode password command .

The no form of the command removes the configured password.
