Ubuntu :: Default Username & Password For 10.04 Beta 3?
Apr 30, 2010
I'm trying to install Lubuntu 10.04 beta 3 on an old computer to see if i can bring new life into the system but when i run the Cd if i choose run live session or try install Lubuntu straight it automatically takes me to a login screen to enter username and password.
Does anyone know the default username and password for Lubuntu 10.04 beta 3 ? ? ?
I really need to install or try out Lubuntu but i dont know the username and password to try or install it
The download page says the CD should boot into the desktop. Instead I am getting a login screen. What is the default username and password? (I assume that after I log in I will have an option to actually install it on my hard disc ...)
brand new 2 Ubantu & set up standard Ubantu compartment accessed via 1 user name only and password. 1st few times all good but now suddenly, unexpectedly password declared invalid. Had written down password so it is correct & not entry error. Not know how to reset password or bypass 'username/password log on screen' Am on an Acer 5542G with windows 7 home premium.
I recently installed vsftpd on my server. I noticed that users on the machine can login into vsftpd with their username and password on the machine and go to their root dir "/home/username".Now, I want to give some people a vsftpd username and password so they can upload and download files and folders to their folder, but this folder has to be in the "/var/www/(username)" folder. I don't want them to be able to go to any other folder than their own folder like "/var", "/etc" or "/home" etc. Also I don't want them to be able to login on the machine as a user, through putty for example. They should only be allowed to acces their folder with vsftpd, nothing else.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I'm trying to configure my chat accounts. But after entering username and password, it is asking "Enter password to unlock your login keyring". I have entered my login password. But it is saying that "The password you use to log in to your computer no longer matches that of your login keyring."
When I installed Ubuntu on my laptop, I had chosen "automatic login" . So i was not asked ofr username and password everytime I switched on. I later wanted to change the settings. So I went to systems-->administration-->login window-->security. There I disabled automatic login and I reboot the computer. Now the GUI does not allow me to enter Username and password. It says "Authorization denied" at the login screen.
Well I have tried everything I can think of and anything on a google search.What I'm trying to do it secure the phpmyadmin folder.I put a .htaccess file in /usr/share/phpmyadmin.I can still just can't get it to pop up a required username and password.
just got a secondhand laptop that already has ubuntu loaded on it but ithas been registered to the previous owner can i reset to my username and password or do i have to reinstall it thanks mark

i'm trying to run ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on my 64-bit machine from a live cd, when i boot from the disk i select ENGLISH and the first option on the menu, which is try ubuntu without making any changes (or something to that effect). it then goes off to the black screen with the white ubuntu symbol, following that the brown login window appears requesting a user mane and password, now as its a live cd session i have not set a user name or password! so how do i login?
I would like to be able to enter codes. I have pressed ctrl alt f5, 6 etc and get to the black screen which asks for username and password. I enter the username and password that I use to log in, but I keep getting the message telling me that they are not correct.
I got the fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 desktop version.But it asked for username and password to login. I didn't set any username and password.I tried tose ubuntu and blank.Try ubuntu - it still ask for username and password .Install ubuntu - it still ask for username and password .
not for the typical username and password that I use to log into my computer. It's actually prompting me, upon startup/reboot to have me insert my name and password, in what appears to be the command prompt. I am still a noob with Ubuntu and Linux in general, so I have no idea what I did to make this happen. It's not terrible and zomg if it doesn't get fixed I'll die, but it is slightly inconvenient to have to "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" every time I reboot my computer. Anyone know what I have to do to fix this?I would also like to apologize if this has been covered in another topic, but I could not find anything
I am holding a computer building workshop with my school's technology club. We are going to build a computer from scratch and install Ubuntu on it. Since we are going to donate the computer to an underprivileged elementary school student who is yet to be determined, I don't want to setup a generic username and password.Is there anyway fully install Ubuntu and then on first boot have the student type in their desired username and password? I want to make this as easy as possible for the student. I am really excited for this event and glad that I can give back to the community.
After not using Ubuntu for a couple of weeks - suddenly it will no longer accept my username or password- it does not say which one it doesn't like - been using the same ones for 3 years.How can I get in to reset ?It is on a multiboot PC... Ubuntu/WinXP Pro/Win XP home MTIA
Haven't used my laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 in months, completely forgotten my username and password. I've read up other peoples advice on this but it hasn't helped, tried following this, [URL] but once i get to 'Drop to root shell prompt' i get 'Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue): I don't recall ever having a 'root password'
I installed lucid lynx about a month ago. with I installed filezilla and I have wordpress running on localhost.
When I do an automatic on wordpress it asks for ftp credentials. I don't my ftp credentials. I was not aware that I had ftp username and password. I am not sure if that means I installed the ftp server without knowing. my root password does not work on this.
I tried searching through wordpress forums but most of them show me how to set the ftp username and password in wp-config file so that it doesn't ask for it every time.
How can I find out the ftp username and password on my computer.
There was a recent thread in this forum regarding capturing of SSH passwords via the use of wireshark. The thread subject was closed, which is a decision that I both agree with as well as agree with the reasoning behind. The thread, however, raised a point of curiosity and concern that I would like to ask about. Quoting from a the book, SSH, The definitive guide,
The client authenticates you to the remote computer's SSH server using an encrypted connection, meaning that your username and password are encrypted before they leave the local machine. The SSH server then logs you in, and your entire login session is encrypted as it travels between client and server. Because the encryption is transparent, you won't notice any differences between telnet and the telnet-like SSH client.
I was under the impression that SSH was impervious to this type of eavesdropping, and quite frankly I take great comfort in that idea. I personally, only allow RSA keys for SSH access and (hopefully) avoid this problem (?) as a result. Does SSH really have a vulnerability in that the authentication is sent via plain text? How to ensure the security of SSH and not on anything that could be considered a how to 'crack' it.
i'm new in ubuntu server..just installed it and i was prompted to enter my username and password..but theni got this prompt:administrator@ubuntuserver:
I did these steps to change my username: I like to directly edit /etc/passwd and /etc/groups
First open a terminal, become root Code: sudo -i Now: Code: usermod -d /home/new -m old sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/passwd sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/group<- sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/shadow
My computer shut down after I did the second step and now my password isn't working! I cannot open my home folder or get back to root!
I have installed the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso to a USB Key/Drive using Universal USB Installer (v1.5.5). I restart my machine and boot to Ubuntu from USB. I then go to System > Administration > Update Manager and download all the updates and start to install them. I then come across this... Where do I go from here? Do I need to type anything in?
I downloaded the disk image, burned it to disk and after 3 tries managed to get the disk to load. It is asking me for a username and password. What is the username and password to log onto the install disk?
I need to host a user directory and home directors on a Ubuntu 10.04 box. I've installed openLDAP and I can connect a mac to it. how to install the mac schema or add users etc to it. I can view the directory in Workgroup Manager on Mac OS X Server but I also dont know how to set the admin username or password.
I'm trying to use Kubuntu 10.04 in a corporate environment. Our environment uses an internet proxy that requires a username and password.Under Ubuntu 10.04, I can use the GUI to set the proxy host, port, username and password. When I do this, all the web browsers work, Snyaptic works, etc.However, under Kubuntu 10.04, the GUI lets me specify a proxy host and port, but doesn't appear to save the username and password. Because of this, I have to manually set the proxy information on my web browser, but the package managers don't work because they can't access the internet. Apparently the ability to specify proxy username and password is either broken or unfinished.
I am trying to install Ubuntu as a secondary operating system on my Windows 7 PC.
System specs as follows: AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor 2.6 Ghz 4.00 GB RAM ATI Radeon 4600 series video card
I downloaded the 32-bit ISO image from ubuntu.com and burned it to a CD. When I try to boot, I get a purple splash screen with a couple of icons on the bottom. Shortly thereafter, I get another screen that says Ubuntu and has 5 dots on it that change color from red to white in sequence. During this time, my CD drive is active. After a very long time, the drive goes quiet and I get an error that the installer can't find the username or password. I don't remember the exact text of the error message. The system was hung and required a hard boot to recover.
Reading these forums, I rebooted the computer and this time pressed the escape key once the display had changed to the Ubuntu with the dots. The username/password error came up quickly and was followed by several "Bus error" messages. I ejected the CD and restarted the computer in order to come here for enlightenment. I'm reasonably good with Windows but a total neophyte when it comes to Linux. I'm going to try it again and this time record the exact error message (which is what I should've done initially).
When I start firefox the first thing it does is asking a username and a password. Very strange. Other browsers do not do this authomatically, but they do if i type localhost in the adressbar. I'm using ubuntu10.04, and firefox 3.6.11. At the very beginning I thought that there was some problem with TOR, since the problem first appeared one day I turned it on (I had used it before, without having any problem). Now I've completely uninstalled TOR, but the problem is still there.
