SID-01606: new twiki-vm install root password not as per documentation

Status: Answered Answered TWiki version: 5.1.2 Perl version:
Category: CategoryInstallation Server OS: CentOS 5.8 Last update: 13 years ago

I just installed TWiki-VM-5.1.2-1 (downloaded from this site) and am attempting to login to the console as root to change the default password and network config. The default password (changeme) is not working to login to the console as root user. I have tried the following passwords:

changme root password CHANGEME

Was there a change to the default root password and the docs not updated or is the image that is hosted here broken?

Any help appreciated.

Discussion and Answer

Well- I just used nmap to determine the IP address and was able to login to the system using ssh root@.... using the default password.

Not sure why I was not able to login at console though. Marking this as answered as the default password does indeed work.
