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

    Hi @cynik606,

    Additionally, we have implemented an enhanced security feature for password configuration. If you prefer to keep your password hidden while setting it, we recommend using the following commands to ensure it is not visible to others during the process.

    GS2220# config

    GS2220(config)# password privilege 14 password

    New password:

    Retype password:

    Enable password level 14 set.
