Accounts, passwords

There is an important thing you need to know about the security of your machine. The machine comes with two predefined accounts:

  • root
  • pcds
Both accounts have the same default password: LCLS2014    Please, change the one as soon as you start the image and log into the system! Protecting your system is solely your own responsibility. The passwords can be changed by logging as pcds and then switching to the superuser mode using one of the following commands:

 

Code Block
% sudio -i

% su

You should use the

superuser account to manage your system (add/remove accounts, change passwords, configure the network, mount dists, etc.). The second account is used to install the LCLS releases.
