can't set console login password

Hi,

Just in case, verify the following tasks:

//config mode for the console terminal line

Router(config)#line console 0

//Specify your password

Router(config)#password

//Enable password checking at terminal session login

Router(config)#login

//highly recommended action

Router(config)#copy run start

//Verification

Router(config)#sh run

Router(config)#sh start

Thanks for the tip. In config, when I type "login", I get an "incomplete command" message. login ? gives a response of "authentication or Authentication parameters" so I'm not sure what to put here

I am not sure but maybe you have some kind of authentication turned on that over-rides the "login" comand.

username fred privilege 15 password xxxxxxxx aaa new-model ! ! aaa authentication login userauthenticate local

........

line vty 0 4 privilege level 15 password 7 xxxxxxxx transport preferred all transport input telnet ssh transport output all

When I telnet ot the router I get:-

"User Access Verification

Username: fred Password:

router#"

Not the "Enabled" mode right away. Not exactly what I would like really but it does what we need.
