How do you change the login password on a router (a 1750 w/IOS 12.1)?

I know how to change the enable password, just not the login password?
 
If you mean the telnet password then do the following...

conf t
line vty 0 4
no password
password xxxxx

If you mean the console password

conf t
line con 0
no password
password xxxxx

(xxxxx = new password!)

Depends how you are connecting to the router:

Connecting via console:
Router(config)#line con 0
Router(config-line)#password 1234

Connecting via telnet:
Router(config)#line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)#password 12345

Connecting via aux:
Router(config)#line aux 0
Router(config-line)#password 12345

I haven't worked with the 1700 series, but I have worked with that version ios, so these should work.



 
Fantastic. Thanks a lot.
