Telnet and Root login

Hi
this is the question on the Hack the box Meow section:

What username is able to log into the target over telnet with a blank password?

I used putty to connect the HTB Viewer to see am I be able to connect without password by just entering Root and I saw it is not working

Can anyone let me know why?

Not sure you already got this. Since the question is generic about username with blank passwords, think of possible usernames. Remember, this is not windows. So be car(s)e-ful and you will get it.
