When password encryption is diabled, if the user specifies the password in plain text form,
the password will be in plan text form. However, if the user specifies the password in
encrypted form, or if the password has been converted to encrypted form by the last enable
password encryption command, the password will still be in the encrypted form. It can not be
reverted to the plaintext.
