cisco 2600 router Login PROBLEM!!

Soo, Got the router fixed.

But now I was setting up initial configurations, I tried setting up username and passwords for initial login.

I went to console mode. Line console 0

and put username sagar and password cisco.

Then I saved the configs, and exit out of everything.

Now when I try to login again with same credentials it won't let me.

It just says :::

Username:
Username:
Username: sagar
Password:
% Login invalid

Now I cant even go in and change it!!

What to do guys?

Use the # after banner motd and hit enter, if you wish to create a banner more than 1 line.

Cheers.
