Need information on default user and root passwords on newly created instance.

[TXAggieSE]

Installed onto W10 WSL2
Used example commands to create b2a user
b2a can't change their own username only root can, which leads to, what's root's password?

Sorry - I own being a Newbie but I'm probably NOT the only one!

Thank you

We have not set a default password.
Use passwd command to set the password.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. No joy, changed default user from Cmd line and now I am that user but need root to change password using passed in the Centos box. Quite odd!

hmm... Certainly some people may think so.
Personally, I didn't think the password initial setting was necessary.
Because, For example, the Docker image does not have a password too.

The problem was I reset the default user before logging in as root Thus I no longer had access to root and had no password reset capability for the new account. Removed install, re-installed, logged as root THEN setup the account. That works much better !! Now the other issue is Postrgresql installation, total fail. I was later able to work past my issues on an Ubuntu VM and will circle back to your Centos Image now I know what unnatural acts are required (which I documented). So I'm willing to do a bit of work to help others...
