You can also set the CLI password using the cli password command,
or the Password Setting web-based management page. When you log on
to the switch, you are prompted to enter a valid user name. Therefore,
ensure you are aware of the valid usernames (default RW and RO) before
you change passwords.
For the standard software image, the default password for user RO is "user"
and for user RW is "secure". For the secure software image, the default
password for RO is "userpasswd" and for RW is "securepasswd".
