Change "enable" password on Cisco Router

Need to change the "enable" password on a cisco router.

Is all I need to do is the following:

1) Log in to router with credentials
2) Enter "enable" with existing password
3) Type config t
4) type the following: enable password "new password" or enable secret "new password"
5) write

exit, logout.

Please advise. Just trying to avoid the potential issue of having to reset the router since it is in production.
