I spent some time checking out JBoss AS7 today. I am impressed with what I have seen so far but I noticed that good ol' JMX-Console no longer exist.
The JMX Console is the JBoss Management Console which provides a raw view of the JMX MBeans which make up the server. They can provide a lot of information about the running server and allow you to modify its configuration, start and stop components and so on.
When the JBoss Server is running, you can get a live view of the server by going to the JMX console application at http://localhost:8080/jmx-console.
The jconsole executable can be found in JDK_HOME/bin, where JDK_HOME is the directory in which the Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed. If this directory is in your system path, you can start JConsole by simply typing jconsole in a command (shell) prompt.
During the last security audit it has been found that Default login/password (admin/admin) is used to login into JBoss Administration console, JBoss web console and JMX Console.
According to this thread (see below), there will be no such thing. Server management will be achieved in another way - via JBoss native interfaces. There will be, however, a compatibility layer exposing JBoss services through JMX.

JBoss AS 7 will have many ways to be managed. At least these are those I know of:
Programatical:
REST-like API - you send commands over HTTP.
User Interface:
RHQ project
Current location of emerging JBoss AS 7 Documentation: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Documentation
JBoss AS7 now integrates with jconsole. So you can use jconsole as a JMX client to AS7. It also uses a jconsole add-on to provide CLI GUI in your jconsole instance.
