The supported commands can vary depending on the version of software in use. To display a comprehensive list of commands, enter a question mark (?) at the prompt. Switch> ? Privileged EXEC Mode Because many of the privileged commands configure operating parameters, privileged access should be password-protected to prevent unauthorized use.

If your system administrator has set a password, you are prompted to enter it before being granted access to privileged EXEC mode. The password does not appear on the screen and is case sensitive. The privileged EXEC mode prompt is the device name followed by the pound sign (#).
