Hi, Mengjia.

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

The default password for the "manager" account on the Bio-Linux .ova is
"manager". This information is given on the Bio-Linux web-page at:

Instructions for importing the .ova into "Virtualbox" are:

You can import the .ova into VMware in a similar way and use the same
"manager" account with password "manager".

PLEASE NOTE: You should change the "manager" password to something more
secure if you connect your Bio-Linux VM instance to the Internet!

HTH,
