If the issue is still present then use the below link to gather data from the switch to help with the troubleshooting.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-3750-series-switches/77805-troubleshoot-3750.html#mem

This is for the 3750 but the show commands and steps mentioned still applies to the 2960.

Hope this helps

  If you keep seeing this and the switch is not freeing enough memory to get in then the only way around this is going to be to reload the switch. This will free the memory and you will be able to login again.  This is a memory leak issue or the IOS not freeing  up the vty sessions or  the config not having timeout parameters on the vty sessions .

I searched in communities and found that issue related to IOS bug. So, if i need to upgrade which release will solve this bug.

The reload we can't consider it as awork around.
