◆ You cannot set a null password. You will have to enter a password to
change the command mode from Normal Exec to Privileged Exec with
the enable command.
◆ The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy
password settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when reading the
configuration file during system bootup or when downloading the
configuration file from a TFTP server. There is no need for you to
manually configure encrypted passwords.
