What I would do is make a text file that configures the VTY lines, does a no
ip domain-lookup, sets passwords, sets line exec timeouts, sets subnet-zero
and classless, and goes into a loopback interface leaving nothing left on
that interface but an IP address needed to be assigned. Then I would just
paste this to all the routers. This could buy someone at least 5-10 min
while ensuring consistancy.
