ASA 5512 Cipher text not updating in CLI

Migrating from one ASA 5512-X to another ASA 5512-X appliance.  When applying same configuration the password cipher is not the same.

 

What is the procedure to update the cipher text via CLI? 

    from --> enable password ***** encrypted
        to --> enable password 0EoFS/7BiWTeTGZa encrypted

 

The ASA 5512-X is running asa9-12-4-10-smp-k8.bin.  

Followed the master key steps at url  Encrypt Pre-shared Keys in Cisco IOS Router Configuration Example - Cisco

that take with no errors, but the enable password still shows in *****.

 

Even after creating a master key with password encryption aes we are unable to apply any other config statements that have a level 8 encryption.  The CLI responds with the below statement:

! The following entry is deferred until the password encryption key is specified.

Run the command:

more system:running-config

You should be able to see everything that has the asterisks obfuscating the passwords. Then just take the output and push it to the replacement ASA

When i try to copy to the replacement ASA the CLI responds with:

      ! The following entry is deferred until the password encryption key is specified.

The master key has been set along with password encryption aes statement present in configuration.
