Hi
you just need to change the Alfa line only then , got to configure mode

conf t
no username alfa
username alfa priv 15 secret xxxxx
or
username alfa priv 15 password xxxx
enable secret xxxxx

and save it

if in conft mode ... do copy run start

Hello,

what you need to do is associate the password with the user, not with the line:

username alfa privilege 15 password cisco

!
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 5 0
privilege level 15
login local
transport input telnet ssh
