ICX 7150 - dumb switch default password

I've installed a couple of Ruckus ICX 7150 switches with no configuration and I would like to configure them remotely but when I ssh in, it wants a password which I never set.  Suggestions?

I'm pretty sure there is no default login. That being the case, you likely need to console in and set it up.

You can telnet to the switch without a username and password, but not SSH.

David Ellis beat me to it.   As long as you didn't disable telnet in the config. by default it will connect and let you in without authentication.   If you do plan on using telnet in a production network, generally not recommended from a security perspective, enable authentication in the config via the command:   enable telnet authentication  
or set a password via the command:   enable telnet password
