I try the command but it seems not to work.

when i get the "username" prompt, i enter the appropriate username i created , then it displays the "password" prompt and here is the miracle : whatever password i put (enable password, telnet password, or the local user password), it does not work : display is "login invalid".

And if instead of putting the appropriate username, i enter an username which does not exists, it displays automatically "login invalid". That means that in the first case, the username has been recognized, not the pass

Attached is my config ...

I have a question.. i found in the line vty configuration mode that there is such a command "login local" what does it mean, can it help ?

Did you try the syntax I posted?

you have :

username Farell password xxxxxx

username Admin password xxxxx

try this :

username Farell privilege 5 password xxxx

username Admin privilege 15 password xxxx

if this don't work , place question mark after "username admin ? , and see what options are available "privilege" should be here.

"login local" means instructing router to check local users password instead of checking on a tacacs server.

After i sen you the post, i've tried :

username Farell password xxxx privilege 5

username Admin password xxxx privilege 15

I think it does not matter the order in which the commands are issued. However i 'll test and tell you back.

Else when i type username Farell + "?"

i see all the available options = line, level, privilege, password...

And when i type username Farell password xxxxx + ? i see the other options, so for me, it did mean my syntax was correct.

I'll tell you tomorow..., thx for helping
