Re: Default passwords using Cisco ConfigMaker

[gaus () CISCO COM (Damir Rajnovic)]

Hello there,

I was hoping that someone will made a remark but there was no takers.

There is no default passwords in Cisco IOS.

It is true that 'cisco/cisco' or 'cc' or 'c' are probably the most
likely candidates but that is up to the users. It is how they are
choosing their passwords.

I would also like to ask authors of web pages with default passwords
to insert a comment in this sense on those pages. Please do differ
the default password from a common user setting. We are trying to
discourage users from using cisco/cisco but it is hard. I am thinking
to put a code into IOS that will reject cisco as a password.

I will take a look into this and, if this is true, I will see that
it is changed and default password removed.

Cheers,
