   It might not be too happy by you using a local port to do a telnet - can't   
   remember when I played with it but I do have issues using Mageia in that   
   creating passwords (or updating them) is an issue.   
      
   So try logging in using the internet round robin by running telnet to your IP   
   address and see what happens then.   
      
   Next go into the setting menus option 6 and check if you have enabled all tty   
   ports (1 - 6) by setting   
      
   6 = Local   
   7 = Yes   
   9 = No
