When you use "7" in the command, you're telling it that you're sending it a
hidden/encrypted password after the 7, of which "cisco" is not. The IOS
knows it isn't encrypted, because it's the wrong length. If you want to use
cisco as the password and 7 in the command line, you need to put the
encrypted result of cisco in the command, such as 02050D480809. Otherwise,
just enter:
username engineer password cisco
Then use something like:
service password-encryption
..To encrypt all the passwords.
