Is there a person who I experience absurd event that experience?

when I install a cisco catalyst 3550 switch, I experienced absurd matter.
clearly, I did telnet password by 'asdf',
but I can't login on 'asdf'
when I cut and pasted in notepad, I can't still connect,
I typed show run

no service password encryption
..
..
..
enable password asdf
..
..
..
After I tried various kinds, I configured the password is '1234' only number
Supringly, I connected through telnet on catalyst 3550 switch
is it a funny event ,isn't it ?

Why does this event happen?

 

Didn't you mention you passed CCIE written ?

 

So you're talking about getting ENABLE access right? Not the VTY
password? It's confusing because you are setting the enable password to
asdf, but you then talk about "telnet password"

Are you saying that only numbers worked for enable password?

The enable password and telnet password are two separate settings.
