			If this doesn't work for you, use chroot to set a root password:
			First, login to the MD and your prompt should tell you what moon# the MD is... remember the number.

			On the core/hybrid open a terminal in KDE or press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get tty1. Login with your username and password. Then to become superuser type:

			$ sudo su -

			and enter your password. Change directory to /usr/pluto/diskless and chroot into the MDs structure. Once you have done this you can change the root password for the MD with the passwd command.

			# cd /usr/pluto/diskless
			# chroot XX <-- replace XX with the moon number (device number) of your MD.
			# passwd
			Enter new UNIX password:

			Enter the root password for the MD and then exit the chroot environment and give up superuser by typing 'exit' twice.

			# exit
			# exit
			$

			Now you can login as root on the MD with the password that you just set.

that should take care of a few questions on the forum

New page

There are several places where you need to login on an LinuxMCE system.

=== Administration Website ===

==== From the Linux MCE Launch Manager ====
On the "Start" tab you will find a button labeled "Open admin website" (under "Common tasks")

==== From the on-screen Orbiter====
[ Advanced (UI2 only) > ] Computing > Pluto Admin

==== From a browser ====
Go to <nowiki>http://<dcerouter>/</nowiki>

Where <dcerouter> can be the IP address of the core, "localhost" or plain old "dcerouter" in some cases. Note that the default settings will not allow you to access the admin-website through the external network interface.

==== Username and Password ====
To access the Administration Website you will need the username of the first family member you created when going through the setup wizard. This username is initially also the password, beware of upper- and lower-case.

If you cannot log in because you forgot the password, see: [[Reset the password for the LinuxMCE Admin site]].

=== Kubuntu ===

==== Console ====
To get to the console you can press [Ctrl]-[ALT]-[F2] simultaneously. You should be greeted by a text mode screen and a login prompt. See below for which username and password to use on a [[Core]] (or [[Hybrid]]) machine.
On a [[Media Director]] however you can usually login with username '''root''' and no pasword.

==== Logging into KDE ====
The KDE login screen will normally only be presented on a core after doing a "Mostly PC" type of installation. See below for the username and password.

==== Remote login with Secure SHell ====
With the username and password below you should be able to login on the core like this:
ssh <username>@<dcerouter>
Where <dcerouter> can be the IP address of the core, or plain old "dcerouter" in some cases. Note that the default settings will not allow you to login using ssh through the external network interface.

From a Windows machine you can use [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY: A Free Telnet/SSH Client].

==== Becoming root ====
It is common practice to execute commands that need root privileges with "sudo", for example:
sudo whoami

Another option is to start a shell with root privileges, using the -s option:
sudo -s

Use the pasword below when sudo asks for it.

==== Username and Password ====
The default username and password depends on the type of installer you used.

===== CD Installation =====
Use the username and password of the account you created during the Kubuntu installation.

===== DVD Installation =====
The username and password are <u>both</u>: '''linuxmce'''

=== Database ===
The user '''root''' has no password set by default. For example:
mysql -u root
Should allow you to execute just about any query on any database you want.

=== The sambahelper account ===
Not really used for logging in, but might come in handy when creating shares on a [[NAS]] or when trying to access LMCE's shares. Execute this command to see what the username and password are:
cat /usr/pluto/var/sambaCredentials.secret
