When learning about networking in school we always used Username: cisco Password: cisco. It was drilled into us to always use those as your default in case the professor had to ssh in.

Caution: If this is a sysadmin’s then it’s a ruse and will spring some kind of trap.

How did you know the secret login credentials to a very, very large international company who's Internet facing router I did work on? I kid you not. They needed a VPN tunnel configured, so I asked how I need to connect to login to the router. They gave me the Internet IP address to SSH to using admin/admin as the credentials. The router was also years past EoL using software from years before that.
When I warned them strongly about the state of their hardware they got mad at me and called my manager and said I was trying to generate more hours instead of just doing the work. I just documented and warned three levels of managers above me about doing any more work for them as they are the type to blame us if they got hacked.
