To configure the switch using the console port:

console cable.
STEP 2 Start a console port utility such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
STEP 3 Configure the utility with the following parameters:
• 9,600 bits per second
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop bit

STEP 4 Enter a username and password. The default username is cisco, 
and the default password is cisco. Usernames and passwords are 
both case sensitive.
If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default 
username and password, the following message appears:
Please change your password from the default 
settings. Please change the password for better 
protection of your network. Do you want to change 
the password (Y/N) [Y]?
STEP 5 Enter Y, and set a new administrator password.
NOTE Password complexity is enabled by default. The password 
must comply with the default complexity rules.

before exiting.
