3.3.4 Remote Console Logins
Users can configure the MSS via a single Telnet connection to the remote console port,
designated as port 7000. Connections to the console port cannot be disabled. This ensures
that administrators will always be able to log into the port.
To connect to the remote console port, use the Telnet command followed by the MSS IP
address and the remote console port number (7000). You will have to enter the login
password. The default login password is access.

3.3.4.1 Changing the Login Password
The login password is required for remote console logins and when the MSS password
protection feature is enabled. The default login password is access. To specify a new login
password, use the Change Loginpass command and specify a new password of up to six
alphabetic characters.

Note:
Default passwords may pose a security risk and should be changed as
soon as possible. This is especially true of the privileged password.
