The short answer is: nst2003.
If you are using a NST distribution prior to release
1.4.2, the initial password is
nst@2003. People with non-US keyboards may
need to use the
Shift+2
for the '@' symbol.
One of the first things you should do after a hard disk install is run the nstpasswd script to change the password of you new installation.
When you use the
nstisopasswd-2.11.0.bash script to set
the initial boot password for your NST
CD, this does NOT update the system
configuration files containing passwords on the
CD. Instead, it invokes the
nstpasswd script to update the system
password files at boot time. The hard disk installation does
not make use of this boot feature (as it is not required). As
such, the default password after a hard disk install will be
nst2003 (nst@2003 for
releases prior to 1.4.2) even if you used
the nstisopasswd-2.11.0.bash script to
modify your ISO image.
When a hard drive installation is
done, all of the system configuration files containing
password information come directly from the original versions
found in the ISO image. Hence, the initial
password after a hard disk install will be the same as what
was specified at the time the ISO image was
created. If you created your own custom NST
ISO, or downloaded it somewhere other than
from an official site, the default password may be something
other than nst2003.
