Username and Password for Chrome OS

by | Friday, 20th Nov 2009 | 6 Comments | Share

If you have downloaded Chrome OS and are wondering what the username and password are, here is a quick hint. Chrome OS allows users to login to the OS using a Google Account.

chrome_os_login

So in order to login to your account, just enter your username and password. The good thing about this is that you will be able to access Chrome OS using different IDs and no one else can access your applications or data.

Another thing to note is that Chrome OS stores everything in the cloud, which means that you no longer need to have huge hard drives. However, there is a very bad thing about Chrome OS, if you have no internet connection, you will be virtually locked out of your computer.

So it makes more sense to have Chrome OS on a dual boot or to run it on a virtual machine.

Please Note: For your own safety, create a new Google account, if you have downloaded a Chrome OS version using torrents.

    While I love the concept of cloud computing, the fact that the internet is not always accessible makes Google Chrome OS a bit less attractive to me. I(t would be nice if they could expand the software in future so that it can be used by more conventional thinking individuals like myself, who still work offline, and need access to stored material when that occurs.

    I have installed Chrome OS on one of my netbooks and the performance of Chrome OS is just okay. there is nothing fancy or very special about it. It was just a sort of GUI version of linux or something.
