”So why ignore and even downvote beginner questions about Kali Linux?”

You are not obligated to get an upvote for a question or to get an explanation for a downvote. You are not required to have an explanation for either action.

That said, Kali Linux questions are often from beginners who have no idea what Linux is or how it works. They typically download and install Kali Linux to be “l33t.”

So when a question comes up with Kali Linux, pretty much everyone rolls their eyes and mumbles to themselves, “One of those guys again!” and then decides to downvote and even vote to close the question pretty much immediately.

Here, read up on the issue here on our sister site, Unix & Linux SE:

• Why is Kali Linux so hard to set up? Why won't people help me?

“Ignoring/downvoting people because they're "beginners" is going to discourage them from using Linux, confuse them and make them feel negatively about the Linux community.”

Let’s set some things straight: Kali Linux is not the only Linux version out there. If you feel hurt an confused that you are being called out on using Kali Linux, you ignore the fact that you don’t know what you are doing.

Regarding the core of your question regarding the password:

“The password is osboxes.org and this is for all distros that you download using the link from the Virtual Box website.”

Good lord! Wthout you telling us you downloaded the image from osboxes.org we could never have helped you. In fact, the question was answered by you youself!

Did you finally figure it out by yourself? Great! Then the question doesn’t need to exist any longer, right? What are you complaining about; in fact just go ahead and delete it at this point. It is an utterly useless question.
