I'm trying to use SSH cli on my switch.

GS2220-28HP# enable
Password: 1234
Warning: The enable password is default. Please change the enable password first.

GS2220-28HP# enable password 12345
enable *password

% Invalid input detected at '*' marker.

GS2220-28HP# password
%Invalid command "password"

Hi @cynik606,

Regarding the issue you’re experiencing, let me clarify this for you. Please note that you need to enter config mode to set up the password if you receive the message, “Warning: The enable password is default. Please change the enable password first.” For example:

GS2220# enable


Password: 1234


Warning: The enable password is default. Please change the enable password first.


GS2220# config


GS2220(config)# password 12345


Enable password level 14 set.


GS2220(config)# exit
