Cisco 2960 TCL configuration problem?

[A.K.M. Sayeed]

I have connected a new switch in my office last week that is Cisco 2960  TCL. But I didnt configured the switch yet but its connected and working  fine. The switch took an IP address from my DHCP server. Now I want to  configure the switch. But I cannot log into the switch. When I want to  telnet the ip it shows a message "Password required, but none set". When  I browse the ip typing in my internet explorer it shows user name and  password. But I didnt set any one of them. When I cancel the window it  shows unauthorized access.

Is there any other way to configure the switch without disconnecting  from the network or disconnecting any other device connected with it?

Hi,

Is there any other way to configure the switch without disconnecting  from the network or disconnecting any other device connected with it?

use console cable :  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note09186a008010ff7a.shtml

Then:either

1) username xxx privilege 15 secret xxx

   line vty 0 15

   login local

2) enable secret xxx

    line vty 0 15

    password xxx

    login

and for http: ip http server

                  ip http authentication local

Hi,

one thing I forgot.

When  I browse the ip typing in my internet explorer it shows user name and  password. But I didnt set any one of them

by default new switches have username and password set to cisco cisco
