NOTE: If you haven't changed the default admin password, you really should.! Having a password of "password" is terribly insecure.
Once you enter tha password, perhaps by also hitting enter twice, you will be at a ASH shell command prompt, and have a limited set of BusyBox commands available, including scp.
Hope this helps,
