Hello friend ,
you are prompted to this shap while opening your F5 Big-IP appliance first time.
you need to use the default credentials first as below :
> localhost login : root
> Password : default

>(current) UNIX password: default
" enter the default Password again for UNIX "

After That you are prompted to set the new root Password and Confirmation as well.

Then , F5 Command line Bash prompt will appear for you.

I hope my reply meets your needs. 🙂
