[nsp] recover enable password

[David McGaugh]

Hi Arun,

	If it is truly an 'enable password' and not an 'enable secret' then it
can be decrypted with a decryption tool like this:
users.skynet.be/glu/ciscopw.htm

There are also freeware apps you can download and install. Just go
Googling for something like "cisco decryption".

Regards,
Dave
