Command Line Interface, you need to log in with the admin username
and password, as described in Logging in as a Default User on
page 58.
CAUTION: To prevent unauthorized access and configuration of the
Webcache, 3Com recommends that you set a password for the admin
username as soon as possible.

admin user and select Security -> Set Password in the Navigation Tree
to access the Password Configuration screen. Then follow the steps

You are prompted to set a password for the admin user account during
the Getting Started wizard, which automatically runs when you first
