The DXS-3350SR does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to
create user accounts. If you log in using a predefined administrator-level user name, you have privileged access to the
Switch's management software.

record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, do the following:

You will be asked to provide a password. Type the

up to 15 characters in length.
The sample below illustrates a successful creation of a new administrator-level account with the user name "newmanager".
