It was possible because of your help.

I am a Windows person and don't have much experience with Cisco Stuff. My job involves configuring Switch/Router now and will ask you questions. Hope that will be OK.

I can ping to the Switch and can connect through Telnet, but Console password does not work? Do I need to setup for Telnet session?

Sorry I should have made it more clear. When I login with Hyper Terminal I need a password to go into "en" mode, this I meant a console password.

When I do "Telnet 192.168.0.2" (my VLAN 1 IP address)from a network PC it ask for a passowrd and if I provide the same pasword which I use to go to enable mode it does not work. My question is before connecting to a switch via Telnet do I need to configure it first or it is there by default?

There are several different passwords that you can set on a Cisco device. Here is a list of some of them:
(1) line passwords (con and vty)
(2) enable (password and secret)
(3) local user database

When you type "en" and enter the password you are entering "privileged" mode. I think this article should clear it up for you. Click on the small pictures to make them larger so you can read them:

I am not sure if you can help me with this (Because it's not a Cisco device). In my small network I have the 2950 cisco switch and wanted to make few VALNs and Trunkports to see if these VLANs communicate. To do this I need a Router in my network. Can I use the Netgear ADSL Roter(DG834PN) as my Network Router? Also can I setup Telnet connection(VTTY)for the Netgear box as well? or I need a Cisco Router?

can be used for that. It appears to be a DSL to ethernet router and you need an ethernet to ethernet router or a router that supports "router-on-a-stick" to route between vlans. Also, most of those low-end routers don't support telnet.
