Ok I'm not a complete noob at this but I am stuck here. I'm trying to get to the underlying os to make some configuration changes and I simply can't figure out how to get out of xbmc and into that. Anybody willing to reveal the trick? And yes I already searched the forums.

You have two choices:
1: use SSH to login remotely to terminal
2a: ctrl+alt+fx (x is a number between 1 - 6)
2b: ctrl+alt+f7 will return you to XBMC
If you have problems please read

I am still having trouble to login. I did use the keys CTRL+ALT+F1 (but also the other 5). This gets me to a login screen, but whatever I type the password is incorrect. I tried xbmc/xbmc and the passwords I had typed during install. During the install Linux?/XBMC? asks me to type a new password with user xbmc. The first install I typed my own, the second install I typed xbmc. But none of the passes work.
What am I doing wrong? Is it the password I chose during install (should I leave it blank maybe?), or am I doing something wrong during the login?
Via SSH all my login attempts fail too.
Hope someone can help me, cause I really would love the latest mediastream. Plus XBMC Live needs plenty of tweaking on my setup.

I'm getting exactly the same error with a brand new Live 9.04.1 CD.
It boots into TTY1 and xbmc/xbmc user passwd combination does not work.
Any idea?
- I'm simply confused because I saw no report regarding this in the board in the last days, and 9.04.1 is already some days old. :confused2:

I don't believe xmbc is a password that is assigned automatically anymore. It'll be whatever password that is assigned during the install. The account name should be the same though, xbmc.
