Default Password And User?

[ZandercraftGames]

I am trying PyOS out, out of curiosity mainly. I get as far as the login and cannot seem to figure out the default username and password. I have tried root; root, root; x, and even my username and password on my pc, yet I still cannot figure it out. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Haha, I also could not remember what I had set for the password almost 10 years ago. But looking at the code, it looks like I just set it to “pass” for root.

But you can set whatever password you want if you change the string in kernel/userdata.py for root or add a user there. It is just a simple hexdigest of a sha256 hash of the password.

>>> import hashlib
>>> hashlib.sha256("somepass").hexdigest()
'045928218d6d5a42f976163d70cdfe9226e9d1c3ea6bf1647ae1d8f44c2edc7d'

While you are at it, you may want to remove annoying debug statements (and typos) in kernel/system.py around line 134.

Thanks man, lol. It looks very cool. Kinda sad that you stopped developing it, but I understand.

Eh, it was just to scratch an itch and learn a few things. As #1 points out, there are some limitations to doing something like this if you wanted to make it a real OS. So, it is more of a play thing.
