Logging in to the CSS
If the CSS does not detect an existing startup-config file, the CSS automatically
Note
initiates the configuration script (see the
section). The configuration script prompts you to enter configuration information.
Subsequent logins to the CSS do not start the configuration script.
If you abort running the startup-config file, the CSS does not use the existing
startup-config file. Aborting the use of the startup-config file enables you to log
in and reconfigure the CSS to create a new running-config file. Use this feature if
you misconfigure your startup-config file and the CSS becomes unusable.
When you log in from:

The CSS prompts you to enter a username and password, as follows:
User Access Verification
Username:
Password
If you connect a console to the CSS after the CSS boots, your screen will be blank.
Press Enter to display the username and password prompts.
To initially log in to the CSS, enter the default user name admin and the default
password system as lowercase text, or enter the administrative username and
password you configured during the boot process. For security, the CSS does not
display the password. The default username admin enables you to log in with
SuperUser status.
If you have not changed the default administrative username and password, we
recommend that you change them to safeguard the CSS against unauthorized
logins. To change the default username and password from the CLI, see
