Linux – Can’t login in Kali Linux

I was having the same problem although a slight difference was I installed in Virtual Box. When ask during the install for a admin/root password I created one. After the install and reboot I was ask for a user/other and password in order to log in. root and toor were not working After several failed tries I finally logged in using root as the user and the password I created during setup. Hope this helps someone.

Mine was fixed by editing /etc/apt/sources.list to the following:

# Regular Repositories 
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib 
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

# Source Repositories 
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib 
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

Then running:

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
