[SOLVED] What is the login credentials for pre-built archlinux images?

archlinux.org provides pre-built images for docker, VM, etc. (see: http://archlinux.org/download/).

Though I am unable to use any of them because when booting them I'm met with a login prompt and I don't know how to login.

I've tried searching wiki and github/gitlab pages for info on how to login using these images but to no avail.

What am I missing?
How do I login to a pre-built image?

How do I login to a pre-built image?

Try the VM images README link from the downloads page.

The basic image is meant for local usage and comes preconfigured with the user arch (pw: arch) and sshd running.

Thank you.

I expected I had missed something obvious and I was right.

I am also not surprised to see this question popping up here before. I tried searching the forum for "vm" and "credentials" but did only get irrelevant results.

Thanks again.
