Virtual machine & Akoyas Minimal X Linux & root passwort


Dear colleagues,

Akoyas Minimal X Linux runs in a virtual machine on my netbook.

So far, so good.

But: What is the root password?

I've tried root with 'Linux' - nothing.
I've tried tux with 'Linux' - nothing.

Can you help me?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards
Karsten

sudo passwd -u root and set the password you want.

Can't get beyond the opening screen

Hi,

thank you for the
sudo suggestion.

But I don't get beyond the opening screen.

Unfortunately.

Dear Hackers:
what would you try for the root password?

Thanks again.

Kind regards,
Karsten
