You can now login in using netscreen as the default admin name and password.
Note: 
After you successfully reset and reconfigure the NetScreen-5000 Series, you 
should back up the new configuration setting. As a precaution against lost 
passwords, you should back up a new configuration that contains the NetScreen 
default password. This will ensure a quick recovery of a lost configuration. You 
should change the password on the system as soon as possible. For detailed 
information about configuration backups, see the
 System Parameters section in 
the NetScreen Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.
