Changing the VPN & Firewall Password

MacStadium provides the initial configuration of the firewall device, including a username and an initial password listed in the IP Plan. Use these credentials to connect to the MacStadium cloud via VPN and to log in to the Cisco ASDM-IDM management interface of the firewall device.

For security reasons, change this password.
