default user names and passwords?

[peterpreuss]

I gather that the root password of the rpath VMware image is empty.

But what is the default user name and password to use for that nifty new "Asterisk Configuration GUI" served up on https?

The quickstart_asterisknow.pdf does mention an admin/password account but that does not seem to work.

Thanks for any hints (manager.conf? some MySQL table?)!

Cheers!
Peter.

... and what about su ?
I wanna change .conf files by hand, but can't su as root

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.

Hi men,

You can load the install disk in RESCUE mode and modify the root password as usual :
#chroot /mnt/sysimage/
#passwd
change the password and reboot.
That's all folks !

The default username and password for the vmware images are 'admin' and 'password'. You have to change them all in separate places, I believe there are 3 different places that the logins are stored (System Account, GUI, and rPath control panel thingy). Be sure you change all 3 of them if you intend on running this in an unfirewalled environment, or an environment where security is an issue.

Francois -

There's an easier way to change the root password that I found in another post - here.

The easiest way I have found to get root access is from the AsteriskNOW console Menu. Select the second option "console", then press Alt-F9 to get to the *CLI> prompt. From there type ! and hit enter. Voila, root access.

Now you can change passwords, modify .conf files, format the drive, whatever.
