The following example specifies the login authentication method for a

console session.

Console(config)# line console

Console(config-line)# login authentication default

Example

The following example specifies the password ‘secret’ on a console.

Console(config)# line console

Console(config-line)# password secret

The only way to recover from a forgotten password is to return to system default, which will wipe the current password and configuration clean.
