Support can be found via the FAQ:
https://login.f5.com/resource/faq.jsp
Found that through websupport.f5.com . As for the other data:
---------------Original Email ---------------------
I would recommend the " New to F5 Products and Technology" group on devcentral:
https://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/asg/68/Default.aspx
As for documentation:
The documentation for the F5 is based on the software version that you are running, not necessarily the hardware platform. For example, if you are running version 10.1.0, you would find all the documentation here:
http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/versions.10_1_0.html?nocache
and the getting started guide can be found here:
http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip_getting_started_guide_10_1_0/bip_gs_post_install.html1026408
If you are referring to the Graphical User Interface login page (found by going to the ip address of the device on port 443), the default login is:
user: admin
password: admin
If you are referring to the Command Line Interface, the default login is either:
user: root
password: root
or
user: root
password: default
Hope this helps!
