asterisk users - Nov 2006 - AsteriskNow console access

I just downloaded and installed the AsteriskNow appliance
(http://www.asterisknow.org) .  This looks like it has lots of
promise.

Anyone know what the secret is to being able to actually login to the
root console?

thanks,

Geoff

Took the easy way out.

booted the system to single user mode by editing the grub menu and
adding a 1 at the end.

This game me shell access and i changed the root password.

Yes, as I found out (rather painfully) after the second (or was it third)
install, for console access you have to login as 'admin', using the
password you entered during the installation.

And I agree that it looks promising, though as far as I can tell so far
none of the GUI functionality actually works yet.

So far, I have been unable to actually get it to commit any changes
entered via the GUI and after a few attempts (or an hour or so of running)
the GUI generally appears to stop functioning.  No response to 'system
info' selection, etc...

...but it is 'Beta 1' afterall...   B^}
