changing the cisco user password

We got a Catalyst 3560 Switch and are setting it up.  We have not been able to change the password for the cisco user.  We must be missing a basic step.  What are we doing wrong?

 

Login as 'cisco' user.

config term

password <new password>

end

write memory

exit

....

login as cisco and new password is not accepted.

 

Please advise.
