By default, the password required is the password you enter for general access at initial setup. You also have the option of assigning a separate password for Telnet access with the enable telnet password command, found at the Global Level. At initial log on, all you need to do is type enable at the prompt, then press Return. You only need to enter a password after a permanent password is entered at the Global CONFIG Level of the CLI.
