Hi, Dhonghyo.

Tracey has forwarded your email to me and I've CC'ed my reply to the
Bio-Linux mailing list in case anyone else has the same question.

The default user on the Bio-Linux 8 .ova, imported to VirtualBox or
VMwarePlayer, is "manager" with password "manager". See "Running
Bio-Linux as a VM with VirtualBox" at:

  http://environmentalomics.org/bio-linux-installation/

Please note that the .ova file is a pre-installed Bio-Linux image. If
you install from a DVD/USB created from the bio-linux-latest.iso file
then the default user is "live" during the installation process and this
user does not have a password. You create the initial Bio-Linux user
during the installation to disk and I recommend creating a nuser
"manager" as the administrator even on a single user Bio-Linux
installation and create a normal user account for yourself so you can
get in as "manager" if something goes wrong with your own account.

HTH,

  Tony.
