What is the Debian Login & Password

[zippper4]

Hello,

Sorry to ask this but i'm completely a noob in Linux, and i wanted to know if someone can tell me how to pass the black screen when it's written ;

"Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy/sid debian tty1

debian login:_    <--- ?
password:_        <--- ?
"

Because i have read that it must be: root and root , but it doesn't work at all for me.

Thank you for reading !
Best regards,

You'll need to supply some more information. What build are you using?

[zippper4]

Thank you for fast answering, i'm using A Olinuxino A13 with Wifi, with the default SD Card Olimex gives me and i try only to log in when it prompt,
but i don't know what is the default login and password as it asks me ?


Thank you again

The default user/password are root/password

Hello !

Thank you for response but as i was saying it doesn't work, it keep saying me Incorrect debian login...

[ellecieffe]

Because i have read that it must be: root and root

No root and root but

debian login: root
password: password

My 2 cents

Hello




Thank you for the informations but it doesn't work too, i don't know what to do 

[jeroends]

are you using a qwerty or an azerty keyboard? root/password should work but if you are on a azerty keyboard, your keyboard isn't configured right, then you should try root/pqsszord ('a' is on the 'q' and 'w' is on the 'z').

[zippper4]

Hello,

thank you for that but i already notice this, my keyboard is in AZERTY (France),

so i replace; A = Q , &  Z = W .

but still don't work , i have mailed Olimex Team for more support 

Anyway thank you for help !

[olimex]

I didn't know Azrty keyboards even exist
this is probably your problem please find one normal keyboard just to test if this is the issue

[jeroends]

hey hey, don't shoot at my keyboard ... Belgian and French keyboards (and some others) happens to be azerty 

@ zipper: please try all in lower key, no caps.

You could change /etc/passwd

Or login via USB COM port

May be easiest to get a new keyboard
