Many products have default STARTING passwords. Whose fault is it that someone can't figure out that it's not real bright if they don't change it? The hidden ones are more an issue (with static passwords as opposed to generated ones). Scott PS.

Interesting. Is it limited to one-time use? Are the network login services (SSH, telnet, et al.) prevented from using this login and password?
I know the AP350 comes with a default Cisco/Cisco account.. (as opposed to doing a nvram/config clear and it only lets you login on console). problem is with cisco each product group controls how they ship their system, so the Aironet teams don't quite seem to get this IMHO. That doesn't mean your 76k/GSR/CRS-1 will have Cisco/Cisco, but your aironet products sure may. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
