If you have the service password-encryption command enabled, the password you enter is encrypted. When you display it with the more system:running-config command, it is displayed in encrypted form.
If you specify an encryption type, you must provide an encrypted password—an encrypted password you copy from another router configuration.
You can enable or disable password encryption with the service password-encryption command.
An enable password is defined as follows:
•Must contain from 1 to 25 uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters.
•Must not have a number as the first character.
•Can have leading spaces, but they are ignored. However, intermediate and trailing spaces are recognized.
•Can contain the question mark (?) character if you precede the question mark with the key combination Crtl-v when you create the password; for example, to create the password abc?123, do the following:
–Enter abc.
–Type Crtl-v.
–Enter ?123.
When the system prompts you to enter the enable password, you need not precede the question mark with the Ctrl-v; you can simply enter abc?123 at the password promp
