I have installed distros of Pocket Linux on my old laptop along with Wolvix Linux. Either way, unlike DSL or Puppy Linux, these versions ask for a password upon booting up. I have no clue what the passwords or login names are and the internet has failed to give me an answer. I've tried "Administrator" without a password (Because I never made a password to begin with) but this has also failed me.

Does anyone know the default username and password?


I'm getting something like this:


Wolvix:

wolving login: _
Password: _


Pocket:

Pocket gives me a nice GUI password prompt. I'd love to see more, but I'm a newb and do not understand much.


Anyway, a great thanks to whoever can help me.

I can't find it on their site, but try user: root and no password.

Sometimes the root password is simply "root". More often, they come up with no request for a password at all.

If installed on the HD, you can always boot from a live CD, go into filesystem for the distro in question, go to etc, and edit the "passwd" file.
Find this entry:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
edit out the "x"---so it reads "root:: etc"

Now when you boot, it will not ask for a password.
