Fibre channel switch configuration

Fibre channel switch configuration

I have a Storageworks fibre channel SAN switch 16-EL, but I cannot login to the box to configure it. I have scoured the Compaq website and found what is supposed to be the default user ID and password, to no avail. I have tried various combinations of Admin and Administrator and Manager plus no password or the supposed default password. When the switch boots the boot sequence is displayed on the laptop connected to it. Any suggestions?
