Changing enable password for a Remote Router

Changing enable password for a Remote Router

Telnet into the router and log in to enable mode, then Telnet out to another router to Telnet back into the same router again. Change the enable password, exit to global configuration mode, and try to log in to enable mode. If this fails, you can exit from the Telnet session twice until you get back to the same router where you are still in enable mode. This allows you to change the enable password again.
