privilege mode enable password

[yaredo70]

Hi Everyone,

I issue on Enable password:

I have set username and password for the Cisco Switch, now it prompts username and password at the initial login but it just jumps to privilege mode before it asks me enable password. 

Y.M

Thanks.

Hi,

I guess you created a user with privilege level 15 inside the VTY configs?

line vty 0 4

privilege level 15

line vty 5 15

privilege level 15

please post switch configuration

[yaredo70]

how do I change the vty configuration not to have privilege 15?

here my configuration: 

line vty 0 4

password XXXX

login local

Transfer preferred ssh

transport input ssh

Transport output all

line vty 0 15 

login local

password xxxx

Transfer preferred ssh

transport input ssh

Transport output all

BUT it showed as 

line vty 0 4

password xxxx

login local

Transfer preferred ssh

transport input ssh

Transport output all

line vty 5 14

password xxxx

login local

Transfer preferred ssh

transport input ssh

Transport output all

line vty 15

password xxxx

login

Transfer preferred ssh

transport input ssh

Transport output all

There are several things that can cause the behavior described in the original post. @pman has correctly identified the 2 most common ones: a user ID configured including privilege 15, or vty configured to go directly into enable mode. Seeing the configuration would be the best way for us to identify what is really going on.

Hello

You may have the username set to privilege level 15

Sh run | in username

[yaredo70]

yes, the username has privilege 15. how can I change that?

Thanks.

Go into config mode, delete that user, configure that user omitting the privilege parameter.

[yaredo70]

this is an admin user if I delete and create another user without the privilege parameter I will not get access to the privilege mode to make configuration changes, please let me know if I'm wrong. thanks.

Here's all you need:
username cisco password cisco
enable secret cisco

line vty 0 4
transport input ssh

example:
R1#ssh -l cisco 10.10.10.1
Password:
cisco.com>ena
Password:
cisco.com#
