Hi ....

when i type in config mode, line console 0
and i set my password then i type login, after i type login it says incomplete command.. Why??

thats odd. when that happens, press the tab key and see if it gives you some sort of option.

Not sure why it won't just take a <cr> with "login" alone.. Here's a list of commands you can tag onto the login command.

7206.ATM1#
7206.ATM1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
7206.ATM1(config)#line console 0
7206.ATM1(config-line)#password password
7206.ATM1(config-line)#login ?
  local   Local password checking
  tacacs  Use tacacs server for password checking
  <cr>

7206.ATM1(config-line)#login
7206.ATM1(config-line)#

If you have issued the command "aaa new-model" the router will expect you to follow the login command with the "authentication" keyword and the authentication mode

From global config you should use the "no aaa new-model" command.

R4(config)#aaa new-model 
R4(config)#line con 0
R4(config-line)#login ?
  authentication  Authentication parameters.

R4(config-line)#login aithentic
R4(config-line)#login a        
R4(config-line)#login authentication ?
  WORD     Use an authentication list with this name.
  default  Use the default authentication list.

R4(config-line)#exit                 
R4(config)#no aaa new-model 
R4(config)#line con 0
R4(config-line)#login ?
  local   Local password checking
  tacacs  Use tacacs server for password checking
  <cr>

Hope this helps.
