Thread: First login fails

  1. First login fails

    I've installed Kali successfully. I'm not able to login (after selecting 'Other...' which was only option given: I expected to see my Username). Details are:
    Kali version 1.0.5
    Ubuntu Precise 64 bit
    Kali installation using Virtualbox 4.3.6
    Username was same as supplied in installation.
    Forgot if install requested password to be used: so I used password that I would have supplied if asked
    Error message: Authentication failure
    Tried passwords such as kali & password with no success

    I've searched Documentation without success. Is there a special password for first time login?
    Regards,
    John

  3. I've tried both my user name & root, with toor. Both gave Authentication Failure
    PS I did the Graphical Install, not a Live option

    John

  4. My mistake: I must have miskeyed root (for the user name). Now OK.
    Regards,
    John
