You can't login a root through telnet even if you type in the correct root password. I don't recommend sending the root password over telnet, though.

Ask the computer's administrator to give you a login and a password.

You don't have to create any special telnet account. Any user (not root) account will do. Redhat should hae prompted you to create a user account during installation.

Be aware though, that Windows telnet is seriously broken and many things just don't work. I suggest downloading putty (which is an excellent telnet *and* ssh client for Windows). It works just as well as unix telnet.
