Hi Ashish,
First thing.... you have installed RH 7.x ... and RH has this shitty service known as ipchains or iptables which gets enabled by default unless you opt for not starting by ntsysv --level=5 --level=3 ...and disable this service.. Second.... its by default that root user is never allowd to login thru telnet or FTP ... you can directly log on to root only if you have ssh service started (well if u havent changed the conf files as to not allow root to login ) so try to login as some other system user and then su to root ...
