Did anyone answer this question.  I have the same problem, i did factory reset by going into maint mode.  Then rebooted firewall.  It rebooted with hostname PA-HDF on its own.  I tried admin/admin.  did not work. 

There was another default pw i cannot remember, something like Pal0Alt0!, any ideas.

give some time you bydefault user/pass will work on it. this take sometime 15min and then take your user/pass and ask you to change it. I hope this will work  Best of luck 🙂
