Title: Root access from console
Post by: JP on October 17, 2001, 02:57:29 PM

What is the default root password when you install the e-smith distribution?

I want login into the system from console but I don't know the default password for "root" user and during the instalation don't ask me anything about the password.

Thanks for all

It is the same as the 'admin' password specified during installation (with the possible exception of the Linux-Format magazine version). Which e-smith distro. are you using and where was it sourced from ?
