Standard question, with standard answer 'use expect'.
If this is not available, then script telnet, e.g.

{
        sleep 5
        echo username
        sleep 5
        echo login_password
        sleep 10
        echo 'passwd -m ksh'
        sleep 5
        echo new_dialup_password
        sleep 5
        echo new_dialup_password
        sleep 5
        echo 'exit'
        sleep 5
} | telnet localhost
