What is the root password for my server?

The short answer is - Fonality does not know.

The longer, more precise answer is that no Fonality product ships or installs with a root password pre-configured.

  1. You must set the root password via the local system console.
  2. Attach a monitor and keyboard to your trixbox Pro
  3. Login using 'ip' as the username and 'ip' as the password
  4. Choose option 11 - Set root password
  5. Type in a secure password
  6. Type in your password again to verify
  7. The system indicates that all 'tokens' have updated successfully
  8. Press Enter to return to the main menu
  9. Press Q to logout
  10. You can now login as username: root and password: the password you just set
Why doesn't Fonality know my root password?

For your security.  Fonality does not want or need your root password.  Please keep it private and store it in a secure location (preferably only in your head).
