No service password-encryption is the default, unless it's changed very
recently. With that set, enter a password for the vty lines, or another
password. Then do a "show running-config" and you'll see the password
in clear text. Next specify "service password-encryption" and you'll see
the password preceded by a "7" and encrypted.
Reverting to the "no" will not cause previously encrypted passwords to
show in the clear again.
Note that the enable secret is always encrypted, using a different and
much stronger algorithm.
