A- I can telnet to the IDS (at work) , but I am trying to figure out why I can not access the web interface (tiny window was popped up), I tried default username and password which are cisco without any sucess.

A/1- How can i find that (current username and password) ? I have issued show configuration, but I could find nothing!!!

A/2- Do I need to assign username and password for the web interfaces access ?

B- Does a console cable for an IDS is something different from th a console cable for a router ?

- Try default 'cisco/cisco'. But you normally need to change the default password (cisco) when initializing it. Default username/pwd is cisco/cisco. HTTPS is enabled by default.

A/1- How can i find that (current username and password) ? I have issued show configuration, but I could find nothing!!!

- From the CLI, issue "sh user all". You should be able to see user account (if configured).

Otherwise, create new account(s) using :

sensor(config)# username operator01 password my2centpwd priv operator

sensor(config)# username admin911 password 3mer9ing5 priv administrator

A/2- Do I need to assign username and password for the web interfaces access ?

- No, you can use available user account/ID. But it's good to have user ID with admin privileges for testing purposes.

B- Does a console cable for an IDS is something different from th a console cable for a router ?

- No, it should be the same

Thanks for that AK, I was able to access WebUI by using same username and password for the telnet.
