The default username in CDlinux is “cdl”.

For security reason, the password of both “cdl” and “root” are disabled.

This means you cannot login, neither locally nor remotely. Except for the X session, tty1, and tty2. On tty1, press “Enter” and you'll login as “root”. On tty2, press “Enter” and you'll login as “cdl”.

If you want to login your CDlinux box remotely, you must set a password first. To set a password for the “root” user, run the following command:

      sudo passwd

To set a password for “cdl”:

      sudo passwd cdl

Or, if you prefer to do these as “root”. changing passwd for “root”:

      passwd

Changing passwd for “cdl” as “root”:

      passwd cdl
