Hello @shohidulislam3923,
Under configure terminal, enter #enable ?

It is because of the '@'
Try another password without this '@'

Make sure you setup the correct password (without any special characters in it and test it)
also when you things not working, you need to provide more information in related to config, what you applied on the switch for wide community to support you.
also when you try enable what error you getting ?

after entering the above command press enter without giving any space....hope it should work

Hi,
I would recommend to not use enable password. Use enable secret instead, because enable password is unencrypted in config printout. If you have both enable password and enable secret , enable password is not effectively working and enable secret takes precedence. Because of this you may think, that your configuration of enable password is not working, if you have enable secret configured ass well. Both commands have the same final effect - to elevate privileges. Enable password is only good if yu want to share passwords with potential attackers, and it is even "better" when you have the same password used on another devices too. Such things are very valuable when you want to break into foreign network. Password recovery of one device grants acess to whole network. Hope this helps you.
Regards
Stepan.

I am also using this way but enable password and enable secret is not working.
example:
Switch(config)#enable password pass1234
Switch(config)#enable secret pass1234

As I mention before
Do you use tacacs for command?
It seem to me that this command is inactive at all.
Can you share aaa config
