It sounds like your getting to the switch just fine. The issue seems to be you don't have the password to get into it.
If that is the case, you can reset the password and login to the switch using the following steps.
The password will be admin and the username is admin.
Q. How do I recover the password of my switch?
A.
If you do not know or have forgotten your password to get into the switch's configuration interface, you may try running the Password Recovery. This is a solution which allows the user login to the switch using its default username ("admin").
