Login to the router
Enter Priveleged mode
Enter config mode
Enter Line config mode
Change the password
EX:
password:*******
Router>enable
password: *****
Router#config term
Router(config)#line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)#password whatever
Ctrl-Z
Router#copy runn start
Then you are done... Note that you will not be able to determine what the
new password is from reading the config... If you want to be able to see the
password in the config file in plain text (and I have NO IDEA why you would
want this), use the "no service password-encryption" command from global
config mode...
