Todas las máquinas virtuales de VirtualBox y VMware cocinadas por Osboxes tienen el mismo USUARIO y CONTRASEÑA.
Por supuesto, después de identificarse en la máquina virtual el usuario puede cambiarlos o crear un usuario nuevo.
Username – osboxes
Password – osboxes.org
For Root user account

En la página oficial hay también una guía de uso de estas máquinas y
también dos videoguías: una para Virtual Box y otra para VMware.
Hay otro sitio en github llamado "Virtual Machines" que contiene bastantes máquinas virtuales ya cocinadas. Esta información es un aporte de David.
