Username

I just signed up for Kali Linux and it is asking me for a username. I am assuming the username is the name I signed up with? I keep getting an error that says login incorrect.

Hi,
If you're referring to the Linode you installed Linux on, the initial username will be root when you are attempting to sign in. The password will be whatever root password you've entered when you created your Linode. Your account username on Linode is different than your username on a Linode you deploy.

Here is a getting started guide that should be able to point you in the direction of documentation that will explain more about how the Linode platform works, and how you go about setting up and securing Linode's once you've created them.

I hope that helps. Good luck.
