To set a password ona router where you log in by telnet do:
- go to the enable mode (type “enable”)
- go to global configuration (type “config”)
- pick a line which is used by telnet connection (type “line vty 0 4″ or “line vty 0 15″)
- type “login”
_ type “password YOUR_PASSWORD”
From now on when you log into this router using telnet you will by asked for a password

Cisco 2821

When i log into it using telnet i log in and its automatically logged in on enable mode.

How can i make it so i can have the the normal prompt and then if i type enable it will ask for pass and then enter config.
