[cisco-voip] x9xx the one-time use of the username "cisco" with the password "cisco"

Hi,

It's for security reason, they don't want to keep  generic password.
Please use console cable and follow  password recovery steps.

Best Regards,
Cumhur KIZILARI
PS: Also it's same for all  recently shipped routers  including 2800/3800)
