This procedure also resets the enable mode password to enable. If you have defined a management user password
policy, make sure that the new password conforms to this policy. For details, see “Management Password Policy”

Figure 116 is an example of how to reset the password. The commands in bold type are what you enter.
After you reset the administrator user account and password, you can login to the controller and reconfigure the
enable mode password. To do this, enter configuration mode and type the enable secret command. You are
prompted to enter a new password and retype it to confirm. Save the configuration by entering write memory.
Figure 117 details an example reconfigure the enable mode password. Again, the command you enter displays in
bold type.
Bypassing the Enable Password Prompt
The bypass enable feature lets you bypass the enable password prompt and go directly to the privileged
commands (config mode) after logging on to the controller. This is useful if you want to avoid changing the
enable password due to company policy.
Use the enable bypass CLI command to bypass the enable prompt an go directly to the privileged commands
(config mode). Use the no enable bypass CLI command to restore the enable password prompt.
Setting an Administrator Session Timeout
