Hello, I've already seen posts like this but no satisfactory answer has been given, I've just created a virtual machine under Debian, except that I don't have the root password by default ... The solution given in the other posts is to create a root user, but to do that you need to be able to log in as root at least once, so you need the password ... What is the default password, please? Thanks in advance Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
As you can see, the proposed solutions do not work because to change the root password you need to be root .... I'm running debian 12
Hello, Thank you for your feedback! In fact the command should be as below: sudo passwd root Once you press enter, you need to enter the password for "Parallels" user (which is the first user created and has admin priviledge") You will then be prompted to set new password for the user root. Once set, you can test by logging as root. You can type the command as below: login root Type the new set password Let us know if this helps. Thanks
No, it just doesn't work. I've only defined one password, the one that opens the user's session, and when I type it in, it's not recognized on the terminal! What's even stranger is that this same password worked when I installed the parrallel tools!
Ok it works as much for me the error was that my keyboard was not on the right language and given that on the terminal the password is not visible I had not noticed anything sorry for the inconvenience
