Opensolaris default username/password

I just spent a silly amount of time trying to find the default logins for Opensolaris 2009.06. The website lists the defaults as jack/opensolaris, but when the screensaver kicked in those credentials didn’t unlock it. After a bunch of trial and error, jack/jack worked. Also- if you boot directly to the console, a username and password of jack/jack log you in, while the supposed default of jack/opensolaris doesn’t.

Just in case it helps anyone!

    Thanks! After I built Sun MicroSystems VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) 3.0.6 in my GNU/Linux Debian distribution -and after two live Linux distributions simply worked in VirtualBox- I decided to try OpenSolaris.

    There was no indication in a couple of CD media jackets available (or printed on the actual media) relating to the username/password; all the while the OpenSolaris login screen was prompting for those XDDD
