# VMware default usernames and passwords

 By  [Dennis](https://codenotary.com/blog/author/dennis)  ·   1 minute read

[vdr.one](https://twitter.com/LaurensvanDuijn) publishes a list with VMware usernames and passwords we wanted to share.

Please find [here](https://vdr.one/vmware-default-user-passwords/) the original blog post and many other interesting things on their side.

So below a list of most default VMware usernames and passwords. This can be very useful when you don’t know them or do not want to search trough the manuals.
