All SONiC devices support both the serial console based login and the SSH based login by default. The default credential for login is admin/YourPaSsWoRd. In case of SSH login, users can login to the management interface (eth0) IP address after configuring the same using serial console. Refer the next section for configuring the IP address for management interface.

3. Remove quiet and add init=/bin/bash
4. Press Ctrl-x to boot
