You have set your enable password using a hash: 8 - Specifies a Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) with SHA-256 hashed secret.

You should have either omitted the 8 or specified 0 that the password is clear text - it would have been hashed anyway.

Try editing your /config/zebos/rd0/ZebOS.conf file directly to remove the line you added and restart Zebos
