Can't login to a router with Cisco Networking Assistant

[MBee]

I have a router running IOS 12.2, setup with enable & telnet access. However, I'm getting prompted for a level 15 username+password when I try to access it with Cisco Network Assistant, and the credentials I use for telnet access are not working with CNA. I'm able to Telnet to the router without issues.

I have

"enable password xxxxxx123"

"line vty 0 4

  password xxxx123

  login

  transport input telnet"

also tried "login local" instead of "login" & I still can't get in through CNA

From reading another thread, I added the following line:

"username admin privilege 15 nopassword"

That changed my Telnet username/password, but did nothing for CNA access.

Hello

Do you have HTTP enabled?

ip http server
ip http authentication enable

I had both of these configured already.
"ip http server"
"ip http authentication enable"

Hello,

'ip http authentication local' should prompt you to use the locally configured username and password.

So with this command and the below username/password example, you should be able to get access...

 username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco

I added "username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco"
It still does not let me attach to the device, but instead of kicking me out entirely, CNA opens up and shows an icon that says "unsupported device" that I can't interact with in any way. It does allow a direct http connection from the browser with the admin/cisco combination.

Hello,

assuming you are using the latest CNA release, what platform is your router ? Check the link below for supported devices:

Router is an older model & not listed among the compatible devices.

Hello,

which model is it ? One of the older CNA releases might support it...

Yes, it is reachable via web browser - however, not from the current version of CNA.
