| 3 hours ago | comment | added | Destroy666 | You don't come here and have demands, you respect the way things work and try to fit in. That's how the world generally works. Else people don't like it and downvote you, prevent your content from getting popular b e.g. closing it or "shame you" by telling you what to definitely avoid doing in the future. I have no idea what you're trying to do now, but you're the one who'd I'd describe much more by "shaming" - insulting the entire community whose ways you don't try to follow and respect. That has no reasonable goal. | |
| 3 hours ago | comment | added | David Anderson | joel: Where were you shamed? I would assume any down votes came for the reason they exist. Many of the users who voted to close posted comment(s) afterwards with explanations. In fact, you were told. You posted "people told me that if I asked this question I should use a different distro". That was not "people", that was one user. That user did not vote to close your question and just offered a personal opinion. You can look at the timeline if you want to see voted to close your question. | |
| 3 hours ago | comment | added | Destroy666 | Absolutely. You could also be a grandma not knowing what computers are and be trying to ask about Kali Linux, but that doesn't mean your question will be a good fit here. It also doesn't mean people here will hold your hand and explain to you how everything works from A to Z. You somehow fail to understand how this website works - perhaps because you still haven't read the rules and guides. It might be the time to do so instead of contuing to waste time on nothing: superuser.com/help Help is offered, but making it as easy as possible to help you is expected first. | |
| 4 hours ago | comment | added | David Anderson | No, that is your job. Including basic information such as the model computer, the host operating system, links to where you downloaded software and such are your responsibility. Users donate their time to answer questions. In my case, I spent a short amount of time, then decided to take a pass on helping. Other who may have known the answer may have done the same. | |
| 4 hours ago | comment | added | David Anderson | When you first posted your question, I went to the Kali Pre-build Virtual Machines link and clicked on the docs link for Recommended VirtualBox. The first page of the docs link states "Remember the default login is kali for the user and kali for the password!". You posted you tried "kali/kali". So I agree the question needs details like where you download Kali and not doing so make the question lack clarity. | |

| 6 hours ago | comment | added | Ramhound | Edit your question to contain enough information to answer your question. | |
| 6 hours ago | comment | added | Ramhound | @joel - Those were critical details that were necessary to troubleshoot your question. You could edit your question and indicate the close reason has been addressed, and the community will vote to reopen if that is that the case. It sounds like you now know what the password is. "Ignoring people because they are inexperienced is elitist and rude. " - We did not ignore you. You failed to provide enough information to help you, so your question was closed, until the question was modified and reopened | |

| 6 hours ago | comment | added | music2myear | Besides the reasons specific to Superuser and to your particular question already given in the previous comments, here is a QA frequently referenced for people asking why their beginner Kali questions were poorly received: unix.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5360/… | |
| 6 hours ago | comment | added | Bodo | The password "osboxes.org" is related to a site of the same name. Without the information that you downloaded from this site, nobody can know the password. We often get beginners' questions referring to Kali, which is a distribution targeted to Linux experts. | |
| 6 hours ago | comment | added | Destroy666 | Also note this question alread has duplicates here: superuser.com/questions/1522358/… | |
| 6 hours ago | comment | added | Destroy666 | Hello. 1. This is not a Linux community. 2. You shouldn't duplicate closed questions as you will get question blocked. Also, generally you should read rules of communities you are new at. 3. This website is for answering specific and interesting questions, not "How to log in into Kali Linux?" type of ones. You provided close to 0 details on that one and people found it not good enough for the site - edit it and include info about what exactly you used and how, step by step. | |
