Note: This procedure applies only to initial log-in, and to logging in to a device not yet configured
with administratively-supplied user and password settings.
By default, the Matrix DFE Series device is configured with three user login accounts: ro for Read-
Only access; rw for Read-Write access; and admin for super-user access to all modifiable
parameters. The default password is set to blank (press ENTER). For information on changing
these default passwords, refer to Chapter 3 in the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Diamond/Platinum Series
