Go to your web browser, like Mozilla or IE, and in the URL bar type in
192.168.1.1 then if it asks for a password, the usual default is either User:admin Pass: admin , or User:admin Pass: password.
One of those, then from there once u login you can change all the logins you want, and encrypt anything!
The enable password can be encrypted by using the "enable secret" command.
Example:
enable secret mypassword
You should also use the command "service password-encryption" to scramble your login passwords.
Do keep in mind that there are a variety of sites that offer cisco password cracks, so keep your configurations secure as a best practice.

If you're going in via IOS, the command would be "enable secret <password>" from the config mode.
