Possibly sniffed for telnet traffic and picked off the plain text password?

Folks,

I have just had an outside consultant crack a password to one of my on 
site routers
Does anybody have an idea as to how to go about this?
I really don't want it to happen again and I seriously want to know how 
he did it, especially as the password as 10 characters long

Best Regards


G
