mode.
enable [password | secret] [level level] [encryption-type] password
level
is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required.
encryption-type specifies how you are inputting the password, is 0 by
default, and is not required.
• 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.
• 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a
DES hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the configuration
file of another Dell Force10 system. Can be used only for enable
password.

MD5 hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the configuration
file of another Dell Force10 system. Can be used only for enable
secret password.
