Hi
I m using Ubuntu as guest on Windows XP as host with VirtualBox. I want to mount my USB drive (Pen Drive). I used command 'mount'. But it is asking for root login and password. Also I cannot find my shared folder.
What is password for 'root'.
Plz help me.
Thanks.

Re: root login and password in Ubuntu
This is a Ubuntu question, not VirtualBox! Ubuntu does not have a root user. So no root password either.hrishi_k86 wrote:I m using Ubuntu as guest on Windows XP as host with VirtualBox.

You must use sudo instead. For example:
$ sudo mount -a
As for the shared folder question, you'll have to be more precise in where you see a failure so we can help you. Please ensure you've read section 4.6 of the user manual.
