I just setup nethunter 2.0 on both my nexus 5 32GB and my Nexus 7 (2013)

I was trying to ssh into one of them, either one of them... I turn on SSH service, logon to my kali 2.0 laptop, open up a terminal, type in "ssh -l wlan0_IP_ADDRESS_FOR_NEXUS7"

It then prompts for password for root@IPADDRESS

I type in the password "toor"

and all I get is "permission denied, please try again."

after a few attempts it stops trying and says "Permission denied (publickey,password)


I even tried to reset the nexus 7 and reinstall nethunter thinking maybe i changed the password by mistake somehow, but that did not work either. default password still never works.. Am I missing a step??

The SSH daemon is configured to not allow root login via password.
