Hi,

I am running Hortonworks on VMware, first time. I didn´t found in any documentation about what is the default user and password for ambari and sandbox. Could you help me with that please? I need to solve that issue to start my learning path.

Thanks so much in advance

@diegoavella if you are having trouble with the Ambari admin credentials, you can always login/ssh to the sandbox as the root user and use an included command-line tool to reset the password:

ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 2222

then run: ambari-admin-password-reset

There is a good explanation with screenshots in Step 2.2 of the following tutorial that might be a useful reference for you:

@diegoavella

Try accessing URL http://127.0.0.1:8888/ from your work station after successfully launching the Sandbox VM and you should see the ambari default credentials. To access sandbox shell hit Alt + F5 (Linux/Windows) or Fn + Alt + F5 (Mac OSX) from console. I used them for Virtual Box.
