Cisco Enable Password, User passwords and most other passwords like VTY Password Console Password, AUX Password ( not enable secret s) in Cisco IOS configuration files are encrypted using a scheme that is very weak by modern cryptographic standards.

This is a Cisco Type 7 Password Decryption utility. Simply place the encrypted password and press ‘Decrypt' and it will automatically show the password after decrypting it. This is proof of concept utility that Type 7 Passwords are not secure and can easily be decrypted. The user should try to avoid type 7 Passwords and use more effective type 5 Passwords ( enable secret s) on Cisco Routers.
