WRONG!! - the Cisco IOS has 15 privilege levels. By default, exec mode has
a level of 1 and enable mode a level of 15 (access to all commands).

The default privilege level for a VTY session is 1. By specifying privilege
level 15 under the line configuration, you are giving those VTY sessions
effectively enable mode, as soon as they open the VTY session.

Also, you don't need to have an enable password/secret. The Setup prompts
convey the impression that you do, but if you start with a blank
configuration, no passwords are configured at all.

You would have to at least have the enable or enable secret password set
(which I believe your question asked how to do it without any
passwords). You cannot get into enable mode when telnetting in without
having an enable or enable secret password, it's a security feature.
