I tried this yesterday on the ARM list and got no response. Perhaps
someone here has a suggestion?
I have Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-22-3-sda.raw installed on an SD card. It runs
to the initial installation screen and wants a password entered.
Unfortunately it doesn't recognize the keyboard and mouse inputs.
So, I should be able to SSH into it but again since I haven't created a
password:
[bobg@box10 ~]$ ssh -XC bobg(a)192.168.1.83
bobg(a)192.168.1.83's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
I found Googling:
/mnt/etc/sdcard/passwd To start without passwd remove "x" from the root
line as below:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash > root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
I did that but it still wont let me in, just "try again."
What else can I try to work around this?
Any suggestion appreciated,
It's asking you for bobg's password, not root's.
Modifying root's credentials won't touch bobg's.
