Jessica, try executing this script on IOS:

${EnterConfigMode}
enable secret <new password>
exit
write memory

AND this script on CatOS:

${EnterConfigMode}
set enablepass
${EnablePassword}
<new password>
<new password>
exit
write memory

Hmm. Well, I haven't tried the IOS script yet, but unfortunately the CatOS script doesn't work. It gave me the same response with "wrong password".

Can you replace any passwords with <old password> or <new password> and post the results you see in the command script execution window? I've gotten this script to work on the Catalyst 6k we have here in the lab.

Here are my results.
