The LEDs on each power supply light up (green) when the power supply units are sending power to the router. The
Administrative User Dialog prompt appears.
Step 2 When the system is booted up for the first time, you must enter root-system username. Use the default username and
password that is provided to you. Later, you can create new username and password. The following prompt appears:

User Access Verification
Username: cisco
Password:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#
Username is cisco. Reach out to your accounts team to obtain the password. You can later modify the
password in Step 3.
Note
Step 3 Enter a new password to use for this router.
The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if it is not considered to be a strong
password. To increase the security strength of your password, make sure that it adheres to the following guidelines:
• At least eight characters
• Minimizes or avoids the use of consecutive characters (such as "abcd")
• Minimizes or avoids repeating characters (such as "aaa")
• Does not contain recognizable words from the dictionary
• Does not contain proper names
• Contains both uppercase and lowercase characters
• Contains numbers as well as letters
