If you mean the developer console, read on. Otherwise please detail your question, thanks. :D
Hidden/Spoiler:
Option 1: Right click the game in Steam>Properties>Set Launch Options... then enter -console

Option 2: In-game, go to Settings>Keyboard>Advanced>Enable Dev Console

Option 3(best one): Find config.cfg or autoexec.cfg in ..\\Steam\\SteamApps\\<accountname>\\<game name>\\<game abbreviation>\\cfg\\, open it with any text editor.
Example(TF2): SteamApps\\andee_v1_2\\team fortress 2\\hl2\\cfg. Source Engine games build upon the hl2 engine all have hl2 as game abbreviation.
The easiest way: go to the end of the file and paste this line in:
[code]bind "F6" "toggleconsole"[/code]
Now if you restart your game you should be able to toggle the console with F6.
