Do you have an Enable Secret password set? The Enable password is mainly still around for support of older IOS code. Cisco is trying to move everyone to using Enable Secret.
Have you tried typing out the full command: enable password password? What is your configuration register set to 0x2102 or 0x2142? If is set to 0x2142, the router will ignore the startup-config which contains the Enable and Enable Secret passwords. If that does not fix the problem, I am out of ideas. -- "Through Complexity there is Simplicity, Through Simplicity there is Complexity" David L.
