Hi, I downloaded an ISO linux file for my Vmware it was with a read me file that show the login details into the OS. Now have finished the installation of the ISO on my Vmware but the problem I have is it not accepting the login details that came with the ISO I download.
this was the login that came with the ISO:
standard user:
username: user
password: password
administrative user:
username: root
password: password
It not accepting any of it I want to know if I did something wrong or there is master login deatils I can use to get to the desktop.
Am a real newbie this is my first time of dealing with Linux your answers will be appreciated a lot. Thanks.

Hello,
I have CentOS 6.5 deployed as a VM on VMware ESXi. I want to force user to force password change even when they use VMware's vSphere client to access the VM console.
I tried the following two commands -
Code:
chage -d 0 username
Code:
passwd -e username
These commands force password change only when we start a SSH session for that user, not if that user access the VM directly via the client console. How do I achieve a force password change even when it is accessed via the client console?
Thanks

Wow, I got my new Linux pc yesterday and it's very very fast. It's faster than my new MacBook.
So I go to the user account which also says administrator so I'm presuming that's the root owner?????? and I typed in my name and changed the password. The guy who sold it to me named the password user and the computer user. Yet when I go to the terminal my username and computer is still called user@user
How do I change the root password and computer name?

CentOS Linux 7 (core)
Kernel 3.10.0-299.el17.x86_64 on an x86_64
local host login:kd
[kd@localhost ~]$
The above is what displays on a black screen.
The program was d/l to DVD and then installed on a usb stick and booted from there. No password.
This is the second installation. On the first, a pw was specified but at login, it would not accept input from the keyboard except the enter key which resulted in Incorrect Password.
Help would be much appreciated.
I have created a new user with "useradd" than changed the password with "passwd" (logged in as an administrator). After that I tried to login as the new user but couldn't. Error message was: "call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation".
I currently use Debian 8.
I checked the home directory and couldn't find a new created folder for the new user (wasn't supposed to be done automatically by useradd?) and I checked the etc/password and there was the new user name inside it though.
What should I do? I really need to have more than one user on this computer...
Hi all,
I am slackware 14.0 user. Recently I face one problem. As a root i can change one of my normal user's (assuming Peter) password. However, when I login as Peter, and try to change the password, the system does not allow me to renew my password.
root@slackwa /etc# ls -la | grep shadow
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 9 Nov 29 2013 gshadow
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 20 2013 gshadow-
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 2272 Apr 12 22:44 shadow
-rw------- 1 root root 2274 Apr 12 21:40 shadow-
root@slackwa /etc# ls -la | grep passwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2362 Apr 12 12:58 passwd
-rw------- 1 root root 2306 Jan 8 17:38 passwd-
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2305 Aug 11 2014 passwd~
peter@slackwa ~$ which passwd
/usr/bin/passwd
peter@slackwa ~$ ls -la /usr/bin/passwd
-rws--x--x 1 root root 68725 Sep 14 2012 /usr/bin/passwd*
peter@slackwa ~$ passwd
Changing password for peter
Old password:
Incorrect password for peter.
The password for peter is unchanged.
One thing I can assure is the password I input is correct. I have another slackware 14 running on Dell R410, but it does not has this problem.
Please kindly advice. Thank you.
# cat /etc/*-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
Normally I would run this command:
subscription-manager register --username 'username' --password 'password'
but I am getting:
subscription-manager: command not found
I am wondering, with using
# rhn_register
How can I associate my login and password to assign this system to my Red Hat account?
