I installed an ubuntu server and somehow happend to skip the user accounts and time setup process. Now the system loads up and asks username and password which I have none. Is there a way to access the account setup facility or is there any default username and password for ubuntu? Id thought of root and guest account but they're not active yet.

  • Can you add what Ubuntu server version you installed? Do you have physical access to the server or is the machine remote?

Open recovery mode and chroot to the ubuntu installation. Then, try to add an user with useradd or set root password with passwd.
