Initial password problem, "toor" doesn't work

[Jorian]

I installed Kali on Android ICS, on an ASUS TF101 tablet with the Linux Deploy app.

All went fine, at installation.

At startup, ssh and vncserver came up; ok. But /etc/init.d/myscript failed.

I cant login on root with toor password with ssh, neither with vnc

What can I do ?

What's in this script file ?

Try "changeme"

Fine guess, or didn't I do the whole RTFM (:-( ?

The issue is now that I can connect on both SSH and VNC, but as normal user "android".

I still can't sudo, with evident passwords : none, "toor", "kali", "android", etc. , nor edit shadow or sudoers.

But I learned one thing : in Linux Deploy configuration, there is a parameter "user", set by default to "android". Perhaps should I set this zone to "root", reinstall and try "changeme"; that's what I will try this evening (where I have a fast conn.)

Except if someone has a better idea.

You can try command passwd root in terminal then change the password. If that doesn't work, then reinstall is your next best bet.

Yeah, well, "passwd root" doesn't work...

But "sudo -i" does it well

In fact, the user name in Linux Deploy is the name of a basic user ('cause of vnc, witch doesn't like root), but he's sudoer, with the default password "changeme" (and not "toor"). Like a basic Ubuntu conf.

End of the story, anyway, and thanks for the good ideas.

That's good to know. Thanks.

Try "sudo su" and then you can change the password with "passwd root"
