IOS-XE AlwaysOn credentials

The IOS-XE AlwaysOn router at devnetsandboxiosxe.cisco.com doesn't seem to be accesible anymore with the credentials admin/C1sco12345

@aarlegui as i know the steps have changed here, the always on now requires a dynamic username/password instead of using the static one which meant it was open for abuse. The steps are

Creating a reservation

Hit the Launch button on the Catalyst 8000 Always-On sandbox tile
Select a duration. Your credentials will last this length.
Hit launch again. The sandbox will bein spinning up.
New credentials will be created and tested for SSH and RESTCONF
Once Active (1-2 mins), the credetails are displayed in the Quick Access Tab
A unique password is generated each time a new reservation is made.

 I just tried this on the IOS XE on Catalyst 8000 Always-On sandbox.

ssh bigevilbeard@devnetsandboxiosxe.cisco.com
