Enabling Telnet on cisco switch

After setting up my switch I could ping it and access the UI, but couldn't Telnet into it, because I didn't turn it on...

switch>enable
switch#config t
switch(config)#line vty 0 4
switch(config-line)#password <password>
(this doesn't require the <>, you just put the password. Ex, if you want the password to be Password1 it would look like this:
switch(config-line)#password Password1
that's it)
switch(config-line)#login
switch(config-line)#end

now test it

switch#telnet (IP of switch)

once connection is verified, save it.

switch#write memory
switch#copy running-config startup-config

Double saved.
