Root password

Hi there, I just completed a different install of parrot on Virtual Box everything went well with the install but I’m trying to update user accounts that I want and including passwords and I had thought that parrot was the password for root but it fails. What am I missing?

This has probably been covered before, apologies if this is the case. Thank you all.


  • Parrot version in use (if you are not aware of it, open terminal and type cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION):

  • Hypervisor used:

  • Logs/Terminal output (use pastebin or similar services):

  • Screenshots:

Disregard. Thank you, butr I’ve figured it out.
