Cannot login on GS105eV2

>  Where is the idea coming from there is a username and a password required?

Well, after having search on Netgear web site which password is supposed to work, I end up trying all the password for all the Netgear devices as none did work.

So step-by-step:

- macOS 11.0.1 (also tried with Windows 10 64bits without any luck, just for info)

- GS105eV2 is not connected to any LAN or server, only to the Mac (I tried different switch port, same results, just for info). It is a GS105eV2 version, as written on the back sticker:

- I've factory reset the switch several times (seeing all the led flashing simultaneously green after about 6 seconds)

- Mac Ethernet port configured as static IP, as follows:

en8: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=50b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_HWTAGGING,AV,CHANNEL_IO>
inet 192.168.0.210 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
media: autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control,energy-efficient-ethernet>)
status: active

- using the latest downloadable "NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool", Version 1.2.102 (1.2.102), which sees the manageable switch as follows:

discovery

- the switch is discovered on the expected address

- clicking on "ADMIN PAGE" button gives:

login

- the user is prompted for a *login* and a password. I let it blanck initially, as as "password" which is supposed to be the default password, I tried many times, and ended up trying "admin" and other Netgear default logins without luck. So here, I've entered "password" (all lower cases), and the browser displays the same login again and again, as the password is rejected.

- I tried with Chrome, after Safari - same issue, password is not recognized

- I tried from the command line, just so that you can see that I do use "password" and nothing else:

You can see that there is no intermediate device between the Mac and the switch, as the Mac knows about the switch mac address:

eblot@thurso ~/Downloads [6]> arp 192.168.0.239
? (192.168.0.239) at 20:c:c8:41:a1:39 on en8 ifscope [ethernet]

At this point what should I do?

Regards.
