Login archlinux

I don't know how to login to root account. It's the first time I setup Archlinux on VirtualBox

Re: Login archlinux

If you haven't set a root password, then it should be empty. root enter enter?

Alternatively, boot the installer, arch-chroot into your installation (see the installation guide for mounting and things like that) and set a root password according to 3.7 of the installation guide.

Nope. The default root password is an invalid one, see https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … ab1705185b.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Reset_ … t_password lists multiple ways to change the root password.

Cool! 2020... that means I haven't tried to do this in two years. Thanks for the link.
