(see Chapter 2, Configuring CSS Basics) or use the Offline DM menu (refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide). Changing the Default Username and Password The CSS allows you to change the default username and password. We recommend that you change them to safeguard the CSS against unauthorized logins.
