I must not have been very clear. I'm resetting these switches to factory d=
efaults using the hardware reset button, and attempting to log in using wha=
tever the factory default passwords are. No cause for alarm - the devices =
as deployed DO NOT have the default passwords on them (probably... without =
having the factory default passwords for the devices, it's hard to say...)
