Login command with cisco

[callonme]

I configured a router with the following command:

line vty 0 4
password password
login

Now when I try to telnet into that router is asks me for a username.But I didnt set a user name.So how do I login?

well that certainly is a new one.

what is the model? Maybe try a console cable?

try the hostname as the username?

ASsuming htat you didn;t get lucky, you have to go via the console port like Spidey stated.

Sounds to me like the router also has "aaa new-model" configured, plus possibly some other aaa settings which will make it want a username/password. If there are no users configured on the router, you are pretty much screwed - the console is likely to do the same thing (but it's worth a shot). You'll probably have to use the password recovery procedure to break in.

In the event that the console is also configured for username, try the AUX port.

It is a frequent failing for administrators; they forget to put authentication commands on the AUX port.

The AUX port is also autosensing DCE/DTE (modem / terminal).

Otherwise, follow the procedure for Password Recovery to get back into the router.

Good Luck!
