Nortel Switch Question

I recently setup web/telnet access to a couple of Nortel Baystack switches. Once inside the web interface i went into the security section and set passwords. There was a "read" only password and a "read / write" password. After inputting info for the passwords and saving i was prompted to login. The login has a place for a username and a password. Unfortunately i do not know what the username should be.

Whenever i login through telnet it simply asks for a password and works flawlessly. So basically if anyone has any experience with these switches and can point me in the right direction or tell me what the username should be i would greatly appreciate it. Im currently working and if i have time later tonight i may try to do some more google searching. Everything so far has turned up nothing.

Thanks.

Try no username with password NetICs

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Unfortunately that was one of the first things i tried. Googled for a list of default user/pass and it did not work.

Keep in mind that i did set a password on the unit so the one listed on that webpage would be irrelevant anyway.

no username and password to whatever you set it to before.......

you will be logged into either read or write mode depending on which password you set for each.

Do you know what you set the passwords to?
