Hi,
In your case, it is impossible to change your enable secret password because you are in user mode >, so here are the steps to change your password without losing the configuration
1- Physically restart your switch (ON - OFF)
2- During the IOS image decompression in RAM ######## press Ctrl + Pause to enter ROMMON mode (ROM MONITOR)
3- Type the command Confreg 0x2142
4- Then type Reset to restart the switch
5- After the IOS decompression, type Enable
6- switch#copy startup-config running config
7- switch#no enable secret
8- copy running-config startup-config
9- Switch(config)#config-register 0x2102
10- Router#reload
