PAN-VM 10.0.6 default username and password

[fedoracore123]

I downloaded the PAN-VM 10.0.6 from the customer site. It is showing me the PA-HDF login: prompt, when I type in the default username: admin and password:admin, it's showing incorrect username and password. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi @fedoracore123 ,

Since you post was 3 hours ago, you probably have already been able to login.  You have to wait for the 3rd prompt before you can login -> https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000CloQCAS.  The PA-HDF login is the 2nd prompt.

Your VM was probably still initializing the software after the 1st boot.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom, For some reason I am stuck again. I am getting this prompt, it goes in a cycle (It asks me for a "old password" then "new password" and then comes back to the PA-VM login. Apologize if I am missing something basic.

Hi @fedoracore123 ,

For a VM-Series, the PA-VM is the 3rd and final prompt.  Your new password should work.

Thanks,

Tom
