Note: This procedure applies only to initial log-in, and to logging in to a device not yet configured
with administratively-supplied user and password settings.
By default, the K-Series module is configured with three user login accounts: ro for Read-Only
access; rw for Read-Write access; and admin for super-user access to all modifiable parameters.
The default password is set to blank (carriage return). For information on changing these default
passwords, refer to the Enterasys K-Series Configuration Guide.
