Enable is enable

you can use the following if you chose to do local authentication

username somedude priv 15 password somestring  

that would give you a user of somedude complete contol and the password of somestring.  

Thanks

If you don't specify a level then it will make it level 15 by default, and that's what you'll see in the config afterwards.
