in ssh mode on a router I removed the enable secret mode and I saved afterwards I always try to connect in ssh mode and I receive an error message in the authentication but when I connect to this same router with a console cable I easily access privileged mode
how can I get back into enable mode during my ssh connection?

what router model ? and what IOS code running ?
what commands you removed ?
if the user is local and have priv 15 they can directly get in access as example below :
example i use below for all device to SSH v2 using local user cisco and cisco for lab :
enable secret 5 $1$jtK0$yyHFcVM7xyelts1csVwrV/
!
username cisco privilege 15 secret 5 $1$0qFD$ZEMDi.7z1QTtF4EuPdlSY.
aaa new-model
!
aaa authorization config-commands
!

I did not see the username in your config ? configure username and password and test it.
are you trying to login using Telnet or SSH ?
line vty 0 4
transport input ssh

yes I just removed it from the publication for security reasons otherwise there are accounts created with enable mode privilege 15 and secret telnet does not work

To be able to login into the router directly in privileged mode, the following config must be applied:
username cisco privilege 15 secret cisco
line vty 0 4
login local
transport input ssh telnet
If you have aaa new-model configured, then add the following commands as well:
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authorization exec default local
aaa authorization network default local
Hope this helps.

by the way when I connect with the console cable it does not ask me for username and password it takes me directly to privileged mode but when I try the remote ssh connection it gives me the username and password command prompt that I then validate when I do enable this is where I receive the error message error in the authentication
and i don't use aaa all username are created in router directely

This is probably because you didn't exit the console line from your previous login on the console.
but when I try the remote ssh connection it gives me the username and password command prompt that I then validate when I do enable this is where I receive the error message error in the authentication
and i don't use aaa all username are created in router directely
If you dont have aaa new-model enabled, then the following commands:
username cisco privilege 15 secret cisco
line vty 0 4
login local
transport input ssh telnet
should priviledged access to your device when you telnet or ssh to it.
Can you share the output of the command show run | include aaa ?
