Kali Linux Default Username and Password
Kali Linux Default root Password is toor
Default root Password
During installation, Kali Linux allows users to configure a password for the root user. However, should you decide to boot the live image instead, the i386, amd64, VMWare and ARM images are configured with the default root password – “toor“, without the quotes. So the username = root and password = toor.
In Kali Linux 2020.1, both the default user and password will be “kali”
username: kali
password: kali
Kali Linux invalid password root toor for version 2020.1
More information here.
Hope this helps.
wow! Nice findings ;-)

So the username = root and password = toor.

Sorry to ask now. But did you solve the problem? If so, could you please please share how. I am having the same problem
So the username = root and password = toor.

Well, when I faced this kind of problem, I did this
username = root
password = *
* means the password, that you chosed for your root.

for vmware edition kali 2021.1 admin and password changed.
username = kali
password= kali
Downloaded from site, installed and inserted info above. Doesn’t work, i can’t login. FALSE INFO GIVEN BY KELLEP
Login is root
Password it’s will be that you entered in install process :)
That worked perfect, thanks man ??
Thanks so much. Works like acharm
you guys that keep repeating the username and password is root and toor
are missing the point, that combination is not working for everyone because it does not work for me neither. I do not see how it can be entered any differently. there must be something else involved or another username password combination. Has anyone figured this out?
ONCE BOOTED, how do you change the password on a LiveBoot CD Kali OS Linux?
But it doesn’t accept that after a sleep?
Why username: root and password: toor not working?
As others have noted, the defaults don’t work for all live images. The problem is that there is no password set for root yet. Press ctrl+alt+f2 or whatever to switch to a console. You will already be logged in. Type “passwd” without quotes and hit enter. It will ask for a password. You have to enter it Again when prompted. That is all! Now press ctrl+alt+f1 to return to the graphical interfAce and login with username root. Password is whAtever you chose. Questions, email me at elektroman2008@gmail.com
Please follow the steps to reset the password.

The following user name and password didn’t work for me too.
username: root
password: toor
I also tried the following passwords too:
Passowrds: root, admin, pass, passwd, password, Pa$$w0rd
So disappointing.
The username: root
The password is same password you enter during the installation process
Thx
Username = root
Password = *your password during installation*
Not username=root,,tpassword
I am also have a problem no running pass
Hi
have u found the reason why no password running??
PLZ share it
Thank you so much, appreciate your help a lot
If the Kali image came from osboxes.org and it’s v2019.3 then the li/pw is root/osboxes.org I believe most of the osboxes.org Kali logins are the same.
root toor wasn’t worked for me neither
after lot of time loosed, i saw in the settings of Kali VM the tab “General” > “Description” :
Username: kali
Password : kali
Maybe you will find the same info on yours
Thanks a bunch !

Kali linux after Jan2020 gives only normal user access with user name kali and password kali.. in order to enable root you need to run below mentioned command (With out quotes)
“sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y kali-grant-root” and after succesfull update run the command sudo passwd root and set your password..
Thank you…
