If both the enable and enable secret passwords are defined, users must enter the
enable secret password.
Use the
level keyword to define a password for a specific privilege level. After
you specify the level and set a password, give the password only to users who need
to have access at this level. Use the
privilege level global configuration
command to specify commands accessible at various levels. For more
information, see the Configuring Multiple Privilege Levels
on page 207.
If you enable password encryption, it applies to all passwords including username
passwords, authentication key passwords, the privileged command password, and
console and virtual terminal line passwords.
• To remove a password and level, use the
no enable password
[level level]
or no enable secret [level level] global
configuration command.
• To disable password encryption, use the
no service password-
encryption
global configuration command.

Configuring Username and
Password Pairs
You can configure username and password pairs, that are locally stored on the
wireless device. These pairs are assigned to lines or interfaces and authenticate
each user before that user can access the wireless device. If you have defined
privilege levels, you can also assign a specific privilege level (with associated rights
and privileges) to each username and password pair.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to establish an
authentication system based on a username that requests a login username and a
password:
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. Enter the username, privilege level, and password for each user.
