Based on whats listed above, you have an LWAPP image on the AP. This means that the AP runs in lightweight mode and registers to a controller. I know a lot of the commands are disabled in this mode. If you don't use a Wireless Lan Controller then you need to do the TFTP recovery to Autonomous mode on the AP. Once that is done you will be able to issue standard commands to configure the ethernet and radio interfaces.

Here is a link to guide you in converting lwapp to autonomous.

Not sure if you are using a Wireless LAN Controller, but if you are it is possible to change the default username and password for your LWAPs from Cisco cisco by using the following command on the controller

config ap username password
