Right the F**ing article. Wow, such incredible articulation... pause err no wait. Here is the bottom line. #1 Hardware developers use Master's all the time #2 Generally NDA, and Non-Compete keep them secret #3 Yea Right... But here is a fact for you, Mr. Intellect. (Sorry Cursing and slander doesn't go to far with me) Cisco is a hardware Developer. Questins? See 1-3 above... Maybe your right, maybe just maybe this all has to do with software running on PC. OR maybe, it has to do with Software running on a PC that can gain priviledge on a platform by using those "Hard Wired" user/password. But if you are the type that will dismiss that Cisco has this... Perhaps I can bump into a Cisco ONS 15454 and log in as "cerent". :) oops did I say that out loud? They exist. Anyway, gosh why are you so hostile towards the people who have jumped the gun? They are entitled. Though you did help some of the audience by identifying "Workaround" I'm sure there was a ton of mis-understanding. So Mr. Smeenz... Are you denying that Cisco Switches and routers have a built in username and password? (Excluding SNMP of course right?) Cheers,
