I set my vty password to "cisco". However, when I telnet into the IP
address on my interface it won't accept that as a password. I tried
every password in my configuration file, and nothing allows me in.
Have I done something wrong?

By the way, it's a 2514 model.

Just after I pasted it I found the problem. I had added an extra
character to the password that I didn't type in. Sorry about the
nonsense!
