Which single command sets the console password value on a router?

• A. Line Console 0
• B. Login
• C. Password Cisco
• D. Line VTY 0 4

Answer: (C)

To set a console password, you assign the actual password value with the password command. The command password Cisco places Cisco as the password that will be required when accessing the console. You typically pair this with login to require the password on entry, but the key step that sets the password itself is the password command. Entering the console line (line console 0) puts you in the right configuration context, and using login enables the check for that password. The other options either enter the correct configuration context, enable login without setting a password, or apply to a different type of line (VTY) rather than the console.
