Pix 501 PDM username/password

What is the default username and password for the PIX 501 PDM? I read somewhere the username was enable_15, but the just see the hourglass forever on the PDM with no result.

Shouldn’t require either if it is a "clean" unit.
Logon to https://192.168.1.1 (note https ) and in the PDM logon screen hit enter.

When logging in via PDM, you'll get 2 separate login prompts. Both times leave the username box blank, & enter the enable password.

I've tried both of those. No luck. I restored it to factory-default, but still not working. It gives me an error 'Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied' in the IE pop-up java applet.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Java (2 different versions even), but still no luck. I tried IE and Firefox. I reset IE security zones, and restored defaults as well. This worked fine last time I tried it, but that was from a different computer. I doubt this is related to the computer because of the error message pointing towards what I believe is a username or password issue, but I will try another computer anyhow.

RobWill, you nailed it on the head. I found a version on one of the posts that gave me a version that works. I installed it, and all is well. I suspected it may have been the problem, but after trying 2 different versions, I didn't think that was the problem anymore.

Sorry that I didn't catch that java error the first time, or I would have passed it on in the initial post to both of you. It was in the bottom corner of the pop-up window. Many thanks.
