Hi David Given the vulnerability of a default username / password, we moved to having account creation done on first boot in newer versions of the system. We assume there is some online account verification system (the reference implementation uses login.ubuntu.com but it would be plausible to tie into any existing online authentication system). On first boot, folks who can connect to the console of the device (or potentially who have other privileged access) can trigger the creation of accounts for themselves. Those use things like SSH credentials for access. The net effect is that we solve one of the big problems in IoT, which was at the heart of the recent Dyn attack. Try the images that Shuduo pointed to, I think you'll like the new system. If you really want a default user / password that can be setup too, but we would consider it good practice to avoid those.
