IIRC, the default was "cisco" / "ciscoinc".  You may need to enable it
by issuing the following from a CLI session under the "cisco" account.

PXM.a > shellConn

-> setLogin


The shellConn commands on the MGX are volatile, they do not survive a
reset.  They can also be very dangerous since they give you direct access
to the underlying VxWorks OS, so use them sparingly and carefully.
