OK, I give up, how come A52896nG93096a is an easy to guess password?
To qoute from this [archives.neohapsis.com] quote I googled. IBM 8237/8225(/others ?) have backdoor login/pass embedded in the firmware. IBM corrected this problem (or hided it better) on newer versions of the firmware. This problem was reported to bugtraq about two years ago, so I expect they cleaned up the act since then. Would be nice to see what other networking products from IBM were affected. Login: I5rDv2b2JjA8Mm

A /lot/ of those passwords are default passwords from years ago for a myriad of products.
