Daylight Saving Time began for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March. Time reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November. Eastern Standard Time (EST), the time zone New York is in, which is 5 hours behind Greenwich mean Time (GMT). 2  Central Standard Time (CST), the time zone Chicago is in, which is 6 hours behind Greenwich Meantime (GMT). 3  Mountain Standard Time (MST), which is 7 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
If the service password-encryption command is set, the encrypted form of the password you create with the enable password command is displayed when a more nvram:startup-config command is entered. You can enable or disable password encryption with the service password-encryption command.

Using Setup Mode really does get quite old after a while, again in my opinion.
