Hi:
What do you mean it didnt work?
It should work.
You have to break the boot sequence by using the break sequence keys for your model router. usually its ctrl-break, or something to that effect. Then you will be placed into ROMMON mode. There you change the config register to 0x2142, and reload the device.
This will load a blank running config. You configure the passwords, do a copy start run, and then reload.

If you still have the console password then why would you need to do a password recovery? Are you not able to console into the device and then change the telnet password?

Im assuming he can only get into user exec mode and not privilege exec to make any configuration changes.

If you can change the configuration, sure you can:
enable
config t
line vty 0 15
password
end
write
Tadaa!!!
Happy Easter!
