Whoa now, this is because you never set the default "user" password to something other than empty space Cayman so thoughtfully set it to by default. So, from what I can tell, '}' isn't any special back door username. At least not in:
GatorSurf 5.6.2
login: }
Password:
Login incorrect
However, just another example of a company leaving their users open to stupid attacks, hacks and providing DDoS ammo. Cayman, please require the user to set BOTH passwords before doing anything else and/or at least warn them...
Thanks,
Jon
