On a telnet connection? When you configure the username, you'll need to also change the line to support that authentication:

line vty 0 4

login local

We recommend using a radius/tacacs server if possible, but you can also use aaa authentication without a tacacs/radius server like:

aaa new-model

aaa authentication login default local

line vty 0 4

login authentication default

HTH,

Hi John,

with aaa the default authentication method is automatically applied to the vty lines so no need to to configure it unless you want to apply another method specifically to a vty line.
