Is best use ssh from another PC on same net to configure the installation.
And follow the instructions.
login root and pasword see the web above.
The last part of the Debian/Ubuntu image filename is the default root password ("po7iep" for this image)
To change the password ...
passwd
adduser YOUR-USER-NAME
apt-get update
apt-get install sudo
/sbin/adduser YOUR-USER-NAME sudo
exit
Login now like your user...
sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
...add to the end of archive ...
YOUR-USER-NAME ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
CTRX-O to save
CTRL-X to exit nano
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add ... contrib non-free non-free-firmware if you want non free firmware and repositories...
Look like this...
