How Do You Get To Priviledge Exec Mode

I need to know how to get to priviledge exec mode. I need to know how to get to priviledge exec mode on a cisco router.

all you have to type is:
enable

you should then see a "#" instead of a >

I have typed enable and the prompt changes to
Router#
but I have been told that this is only priviledged mode and not privileged exec mode.
