8 years agoDE1-SoC Linux default password?
I just got my DE1-SoC development kit and have installed the Linux Ubuntu Desktop image from the Terasic website.
Problem is, I can't do anything in the terminal without logging in to the machine. The machine logs itself in, but I don't know what the password is for the installed "Demo User". Anyone have this information?1 Reply

If you're still having trouble so this: Run
in a terminal window. When prompted for a password type "terasic". Now you're running as the root user. Runsu root
to change the password for the ubuntu aka "Demo User" user. That should get you sorted out! Good luckpasswd ubuntu
