You setup a username but since you only did line vty 0 15 and a transport input ssh telnet and then saved your only going to be able to login with a enable password which also isn't set. If you want to login with the username, under the line vty 0 15 you need to add this line 'login local' for you to use the username 'user' and password 'password' as specified above. Also you will need to specify a enable password for you to get to privileged mode with the 'enable secret [insert password]' command for when you do establish the ssh/telnet session. Try adding that to the configuring, saving it and then login in via SSH or telnet.

I already have an "enable secret" set requiring a password to enter privileged mode so I went back to global config mode and issued the "login local" command, logged out and tried to connect again and that has resolved my issue. Strange then that there's absolutely no mention of this in the chapter I'm working through in Lammle's book. I did find a troubleshooting guide on Cisco (Configuring Secure Shell on Routers and Switches Running Cisco IOS - Cisco) which contained the following, but I didn't understand it (and still don't so more investigation required):!--- The aaa new-model command causes the local username and password on the router !--- to be used in the absence of other AAA statements.aaa new-model username cisco password 0 cisco line vty 0 4 transport input telnet!--- Instead of aaa new-model, you can use the login local command.
