When configuring a new device, why should changing the administrative credentials be a top priority?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER: Most devices that can be configured through a management interface come with a default access account. Often, the username, if there is one, is something like "admin". The password might be "password," "admin," or "1234". Because these default credentials are so commonly used, they're also extremely insecure. Surprisingly, many network administrators-even in large organizations-never take the time to change these credentials to something more difficult to crack.
