Configuring the Catalyst 1900 Switch
After I exited configuration mode and then privileged mode, the following
console screen appeared. Notice that when I pressed K this time, the switch
prompted me for a user-mode password.

After I entered user mode, I typed en, which is a shortcut for the enable
command, and was prompted for the enable password.
You need to remember your passwords because there is no password recov-
ery for the 1900 switch. If you forget the password on a 1900 switch, you can
only call Cisco for help.
You have now set the user-mode and enable-mode passwords, but there
still is one more password on a 1900 switch: the enable secret.
