Cisco Password Change Question

Hello Experts,

One of our routers keeps on changing its password and we can't explain why, see image. Is this a security breach? Can someone please explain?


Cheers

Alexios is spot on.

By the way, you should change this password on any device that uses it. Because level 7 password encryption is weak anyone who can view your post can easily see what this password is.

Alexios/Don,

The problem with have is that we have created an alert on all our devices that sends an email when any changes has been made. We're sent on email each time there is a change in password ... Is there anyway we can stop it changing?

Cheers

Jeez, thanks man......
The password isn't changing. The password is not what you see in the config. If you take those two hashes and decrypt them, you'll see they are the same password.
Don,

I now understand that, however as you can see the 'Before' and 'After' from the image I posted are different...
How are you determining that this change occurred?  What program or application are you using?
Cheers
