Got an easy one for ya! How to set local pwd?

I am stumped. Not too familiar with HP ProCurve switches, but have a dilemna. How do I get rid of the prompt to "Press any key to continue" when first telneting to a ProCurve switch? I have already set the operator and mgr passwords, yet I am still recieving the Press Any Key before being prompted to logon. From what I can see, there is a way to not have to press any key and go straight to a logon prompt. Thanks.

I should clarify one thing... I am basically looking to have two passwords without having to press any key to continue to get to the initial login.

Re: Got an easy one for ya! How to set local pwd?

is there some kind of "banner" configured on this switch.
To display a warning message for unauthorized use before login?
This could be the "press any..." message or even an "empty" message with only spaces.

I removed banners already so it's not that. I submitted a call in with HP and they said that message about HP stuff and the Press Any Key cannot be removed. Odd since I saw one of their manuals with it removed. But I guess that manual was wrong.
