invalid encrypted password

[herri]

Dear All

I try to enter command :
"#username ggg password 7 ggg92" to give encrypted password to each user that loggin to a cisco router,
but, after that, I receive message : "#invalid encrypted password : ggg92"

How to solve that ?

Well, for a start "ggg" isn't a valid value for an incrypted password.

Second, you don't enter the passwords into the config in the encrypted form. You enter then in plain text and the router then encrypts them in the config.

For example,

router(config)#username pineapple password chunks

becomes ...

username pineapple password 7 00071B130A5018

providing that you have the line ..

service password-encryption

in your config!

Chris.
