40. There are five different types of passwords:
1. ENABLE PASSWORD - A global command that restricts access to
privileged exec mode. This is a non-encrypted password.
2. ENABLE SECRET - Assigns a one-way encryptographic secret
password, available in versions 10.3 and up. This secret password is
used instead of the enable password when it exists.
3. Virtual
Terminal Password (vty password): The virtual terminal password is
used for Telnet sessions into the router. The password can be
changed at any time. It can be set up when you configure the router
from the console. There can be five distinct passwords corresponding
to each vty (vty0 to vty4) or there can be a single password for all
vtys.
4.
Auxiliary Password: Auxiliary password is used to set password to
the auxiliary port. This port is used to access a
router through a modem.
5. Console
Password: Console password is used to set the console port password.
