Hello
the enable secret will over ride the enable password - the two are mutually exclusive to each other

HI
Am using SSH to logon and am using local user access only.
And tried that you mentioned commands on above comment still it is not working.

Hello
So what is not working?
Edited: just noticed HYD-TBAL-P1STORES-SW1#
which means you have access into privileged exec mode so I dont understand what isn working, can you elaborate?

HI,
yes am able to enter into the privileged exec mode without password prompt.
Am able to access switch using SSH but am going directly in to the Global configuration mode after giving local user credentials.
but need privilege mode password prompt to access it.

Friends if you use local username and specify privilege 15 then when access you can directly to level 15
You need to add new user without level
Then try access via ssh/telnet

That not all config
and I see you try 4 failed attempts
Then check
Show login
Maybe you enter to quite mode in which ypu need to wait specfic time before try again

Try access via telnet not ssh and check if you can access
