Cisco Catalyst 3550 series enable and Cisco secret issue

i did a basic configuration of my cisco Catalyst 

when i save the configuration or don't save the configuration, my enable password doesn't work.

 

i have not set anything but the hostname and a vlan up, i can't get passed this part?

 

any help why my enable password wouldn't work?

both are configured

not on a network yet

i also took a screen shot of the password's after i saved them.

i have only configured 

1. vlan

2. enable password

3. vty password

4. secret cisco password

 

that is all that i have configured.

 

i'm just wondering why when i configure the cisco secret password and the enable password- the enable password no longer works.

Let me test this in my lab'

You use telnet? To access sw

serial connection

 

Add the command

aaa new-model

aaa authentication enable default enable

 

But prefer to use enable secret, it is safer

per this information, i don't think both can be enabled at the same time, it just took forever to find something that states this. can't say how true it is, but i can't get passed anything when both are set.

It might ne true as per your results
