I do have saved config of one of my cisco router. But I do not know the password

line says

enable secret 5 $1$Fw1P$vKa7ojcC/7udDG6UjAkF/1

Can someone tell me what is the password.

 
Why not just do password recovery and reset the password.....
 
The only way is password recovery you can't crack enable secret . If it was just a plain enable password then that would be different , there are all kinds of tools to crack the plain enable passwords .
 
U can't...
it is encrypted with a hash-algoritme which means it is a trap-door. reversing the cypher just doesn't work on hashes.
if U really need to reconfigure or change the password, you can do a recovery through the confreg command at boot.
refer to the cisco-pages for details.
