Problems setting up router's Username & Password

[Adesh001]

Hi Everyone,

I recently acquired a used router, I need to setup a console and telnet username and password for this router.

When I telnet into the router it prompts me for a password. I would like to have both a username and password prompt. Thus I did the following

R1#configure terminal
R1(config)#line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)#username myusername password mypassword

At this point I saved the config and exited the telnet session. When I telnet back into the router I am still prompted to enter a password.

I also tried this command as well
R1(config)#username myusername password mypassword

but to no avail.

Please assist.
Thanks
Adesh
