Title: Can't login
Post by: Dimas on August 24, 2002, 05:28:30 PM

hmmmm..... E-Smith 5.5 was installed, and after first rebooting  he wants to login (localhost login:). What is the root password ? I never asked to write password in the process of installation... What  i do wrong? :-)

It's the same as the "admin" password you picked during install.

Dimas,

At the configuration stage you are at you need to type in what you want to be your admin/root password.

Nothing but the install hasn't run a script it should have. I had the same problem after my install but I put that down to me messing about with one of the install files. B-)

This link is to a message I posted that covers my method of installing without zaping all your drives. It also shows how to get past the login problem.
