I typed in "root" for the username, and was instantly in.

This may be okay, if we want to tell users to set a default password themselves.

However, maybe we should set a default, and document it?

We want to have an empty password initially and this will be locked down on the first run of the portal when the user chooses either to lock the root account (implemented with passwd -l root) or set a root password (passwd --stdin). The portal will also allow populating an authorized_keys file to allow login with SSH key as the preferred option.

Especially on amd64 it may be necessary to manually configure networking before being able to access the butter portal, so we keep an empty password to allow easy console login initially.

@acute Please add a reference to the issue on the butter portal here for tracking.
