Default passwords using Cisco ConfigMaker

Regarding the default passwords thread, I seem to remember noticing some
rather annoying
behavior when testing Cisco's ConfigMaker to configure a Cisco router.

I had my own passwords (login/enable) set on a Cisco, and had to supply
these to ConfigMaker
for it to be able to logon to the router. However, when I generated a new
configuration, it still set
the passwords to a predefined default, which I believe was "cmaker" for
both login and enable
(although it may have been for just one of them). I didn't investigate this
any further and ended
up creating the config directly on the router, but I have a feeling this
password may be common
at least on smaller routers with simple setups...

If anyone has a Cisco router available and could verify this, then we could
add that to the default
password lists as well. The software should be available from www.cisco.com.
