In my reading, there is no -OR- ... only the admin user is available in this switch class. No need to quote the KB entry any further - I see for the first time, it appears to be pretty new.

Thanks.
In that case, using the admin user, the syntax should be:
snmpwalk -v3 -u admin -l authNopriv -a SHA -A (password) 192.168.0.4
This also results in the same error:
snmpwalk: Authentication failure (incorrect password, community or key)
I've tried the valid password with and without ''s, checked that I can still login to the GUI with it, and checked that it contains only alphanumeric chacters (a-z, A-Z, 1-0), and that it has more than 8 characters.
It must be something very simple, but I can't figure out what.
