STEP 3 Configure the utility with the following parameters:
• 115200 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.
