Cant login to brand new M4300-52G-POE

Team,

 

I have just taken delivery of 2 brans new M4300-52G-POE+ switches.

paper work says the default login is user=admin and no password.

 

I have tried this on OOB connection (192.168.0.239) switch port (169.154.100.100) and even the console port

However I am unable to login.

On the console I see the display as below.

I have tried admin&admin. admin&password   Admin&Admin  ...

what next ?
