Resetting a username and password


I have a Cisco 881 Router. Currently when it boots up then it goes to User Mode and prompts for a password (& not username) and after you enter password and then you type command: Enable then it again asks for password (& not username) and after typing the password; it goes to Privilege Mode.

 

I want to change the setting so that when it reloads then it asks for Username and Password and when the Username and Password is entered then it directly goes to Privilege Mode. So what would be the steps to enable this feature so that it accepts the new username and password ? kindly note that currently it is not asking username but is only asking for password.

 

I am actually copying the configuration from the Old Cisco 881 Router to a new Cisco Router as we will be replacing the Old Router.

In the configuration of Old Router, i could see :

username fhgadmin privilege 15 secret 4 SaH7BHliDUwWYILodJn9zaGUTFuems0SqpHEE2Hk5KY

 

Though i copied the entire configuration on the new Router but in the new Router i can see:

username fhgadmin privilege 15 secret 4 SaH7BHliDUwWYILodJn9zaGUTFuems0SqpHEE2Hk5KY

username <myuser> privilege 15 secret 5 $1$9vck$octzFMH0.iBJl8sOdmY4E.

 

Could this second line (which was not supposed to be there) causing this issue and how should we delete/disable this second line. The Old Router is behaving perfectly fine that it asks for a Username and Password and after the credentials are typed in then it goes directly to the Privelage Mode.
