palbibek: you've suffered enough - you still want to know or did you figure it out yourself?
In general, you shouldn't be using telnet if you can help it. If you are hosting, then you can help it. Use OpenSSH instead (there are non-nix clients, so you arn't excluding anyone).
The default telnet user is your login. To telnet to another site an a different user, use the -l option. See the telnet manpage for details.
As others mentioned you should use thread titles that describe or summarise your problem if you want to get help. I have edited the title of this thread to increase its exposure.
