A network administrator applied the following commands as shown below.

R1(config)#enable password SkillSet123
R1(config)#enable secret skillset
R1(config)#line console 0
R1(config-line)#password consolepass
R1(config-line)#login

Which password entry must be used to access privileged exec mode?

Either: SkillSet123 or consolepass

consolepass or skillset

Either: skillset or SkillSet123

skillset

SkillSet123

consolepass

Explanation

The command password consolepass sets the console password, while the commands enable password SkillSet123 and enable secret skillset sets the passwords for privileged exec access. However, when both we configured, the enable secret will take precedence. The enable secret is preferred because it provides stronger security (applies MD5 hashing) than the older enable password.
