Sorry for such a simple question.. Thanks No, it's not a simple question. The two passwords were introduced to deal with some legacy IOS implementations that didn't understand the secret password encryption. The real question is whether any of those implementations are still in use. Now, when I write a lab, I use enable password, because there isn't a security issue and it's useful not to have to memorize the password. Indeed, when I write semi-automated labs, I require standard password strings so the test shell can execute standard scripts. In production networks, however, I only use enable secret. I haven't seen any problems with this in years.

Without the enable password, someone could make changes. For example, you could boot into ROMMON mode which likely does have an older version of IOS. Priscilla Kenny Smith wrote: Hi..

Its unconfirmed, (i.e.: I do not believe it yet) but our CW2000 admin claimed CW2000 needed it for something. Before that came up I assumed that it was no longer needed except on 2500 series and other routers that had an old boot rom that did not support enable secret.
