query in configuring cyrus imap

[mustafa rangwala <mustu17@yahoo.com>]

hello sir,               
 i have installed cyrus-imap and cyrus-sasl.
now if i try imtest -m login -p login 
localhost then authentication failed.
similarly if try  telnet 127.0.0.1 143 
and if i give  s01 login "loginname" "password"   
 then the same message authentication failed.    
and also if i use  cyradm localhost    
then at that time password is asked and    
i give password which i gave for sasl   
installation  password then also     
authentication failed.
i have followed steps according to    
mini-howto for cyrus-imap installation.    
   please help me to find about my    
 mistake or  suggest me something that will 
help me .
