DB2 uses the operating system for authentication. So, any valid user/password you can use to log in to your system should allow you to connect to and query the sample database.

The DB2 setup utility will ask you for a username and password to use for the administrative ID (a.k.a. the "instance owner"), and it will create these IDs on your system. The defaults for these IDs: db2inst1 on Linux/UNIX; db2admin on Windows.
