Answer:

No, you can't.

Step-by-step explanation:

SSH is an acronym for Secure Socket Shell and is a networking protocol used for providing remote authentication through a public-key cryptography over an unsecured network such as the internet.

Hence, it is a network protocol that is commonly implemented by using a client-server model; where a computer acts as a SSH client while the other network device acts as the host or SSH server.

When using SSH to remotely access a Cisco router, you cannot see the terminal password because it is Linux based and encrypted through the use of symmetrical encryption, asymmetrical encryption or hashing
