CAUTION: Encrypting passwords with this command does not provide a
high level of security. When the passwords are encrypted, you cannot return
them to plain text unless you re-configure them. To remove an encrypted
password, use the no password password command.
To keep unauthorized people from viewing passwords in the switch configuration
file, use the
service password-encryption command. This command

terminal line access passwords.
To view passwords, use the show running-config command.
