Defining Users
The default username/password is cisco/cisco. The first time that you log in with 
the default username and password, you are required to enter a new password. 
Password complexity is enabled by default. If the password that you choose is not 
complex enough (Password Complexity Settings are enabled in the Password 
Strength page), you are prompted to create another password.
Setting User Accounts
The User Accounts page
 
enables entering additional users that are permitted to 
access to the device (read-only or read-write) or changing the passwords of 
existing users.
After adding a level 15 user (as described below), the default user is removed 
from the system.
