Thank you :-)
That is almost exactly what I am seeing.
Only difference is the password is: 7 a9vyt3...
7 is in front...
So, that means it is encrypted.
If I want to change this, can I just go in and change it there, or
is there something else I have to do first?
Thanks a million.

Eh?
No, I meant is the "service password-encryption" configured on the router?
If so, then the password will not be written in plain text in the router
config file... so if you use a command like:
show running-config
You might see something like:
line vty 0 4
password a9vyt3$l3 7
login
In this case, the password is encrypted. The actual password is not
"a9vyt3$l3". Typing that string in when prompted for a password will not log
you into the router. That's what I am saying (and I thought that's what the
original poster was seeing).
What traverses the wire is of course not encrypted, unless you make it so by
some other means not described here...
