require enable password for privilege level 15 | MXL | Dell S4048-ON

I understand a user logging in that has privilege level 15 will bypass the enable password.   How do I force everyone regardless the level to have to use the enable password.

 

Here what I tried:

Dell(conf)#username test123 privilege 15 secret test123
Dell(conf)#enable secret level 15 test123

This did not work.  Please advise...

Hi,

I don’t believe it is possible, if they are privilege 15 it doesn’t ask for the password. Page 83 https://dell.to/39KHJ4H

Hi.

I have a N1548P switch that all of a suddenly requires an enable password, eventhough I log in with a username that has privilege 15 configured (I know this because I have a configuration backup).

 

 

 

username "[username_omitted" password [password_omitted] privilege 15 encrypted
aaa authentication login "ssh" local
aaa authorization exec "dfltExecAuthList" local local
line ssh
login authentication ssh

!
!
!

enable password [hash_omitted] encrypted

 

I have no idea what the previous admin configured for the enable password and I cannot log onto the switch anymore (I was able to do it last week, no idea why it's not working anymore).

Any clues?
