Unable to access GSM7224 L2 Switch

Hi, I have logged onto 2 switches, basically they was taken out of teh box and just plugged in with no config by the old IT person. I have created some VLANs and everything works just fine. On my way...

    I ran a port scan against the switch, it is so old and out of date it is actually listening on telnet. If you telnet the box and enter the PW it says it only accepts 9 charcaters so I entered the first 8 chracters (?) and it worked, I was sure I tried this. I hope this helps someone.
