[opensuse] default root password
Hi I installed opensuse 12.3 by following this link: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Highbank#Installing_the_openSUSE_12.3_Image_.28P... this section: Installing the openSUSE 12.3 Image (direct disk access) After finish and reboot, it ask me login user name and password. During the install, it dose not ask to create a user account, so I login as root, but I don't know the root password. Could anyone tell me what is default root password? or default user/password?

One of the options during an install is that the first user name's password can be the same as the administration password. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You'd expect this behavior from Ubuntu, but not from Linux. The first thing I would do is log in as a user and see if sudo -s would yield a shell (as root), then set root's password. Then I'd take the first user out of the admin group. Always having a separate login for root saves so much grief down the road. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Reboot the machine and add init=/bin/bash on the grub command line,
this will boot you directly into a root shell. Then run "passwd" and
set your root password, then reboot and you'll be all set.
Perhaps emailing the maintainers of Highbank and asking them what
they've set the root password might bare some fruit.

Just for others' information, it seems that the OP succeeded with 'linux' as I suggested, but I just noticed their reply was to me rather than to the list where it was probably intended. I made the same mistake myself earlier in the week. At least where I am I can blame the heat. On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Peter wrote:

A scary choice. How many insecure installations are there out there with linux as the default password? Hopefully root can only log in locally, but still, not a good practice. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Whatever the default password is for any system has the same risk, they are publicly known. It doesn't matter how complex they are. Default passwords have to be changed at the first chance. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Not necessarily. Many wifi routers now days come with the default password containing the serial number. There is no way to determine this without having the device in hand. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Nice trick. I have not bumped into one of those. Anyway... my router has a default fixed password. I changed both login and password, but as its control page is http, they can be sniffed. Local security is nil. Who is going to sniff it? Well, it has parental control, so the kids will, eventually >:-P - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

But it's only a nice trick for a piece of hardware that you can print the password on! It can't be applied to a downloaded software image.

For those, as I said before, you change the password as soon as you can. Supposedly, remote network should be disabled till you do, at least. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Really?
All my computers have at least one number that is unique which can be fetched by software as it is being installed.
Disks, nics, cpus, etc.
Ask the user their mother's middle name, anything but a standard default.

Susestudio defaults to linux as the root default password. You can change that when you create a build, but the new default password is shown to the world if you publish the appliance, so there is not much point.
