Hello, I'm looking for advice related to logging in to Revpi. I have RevPi Compact Stretch that should be run in Debian 9 and that was already configured. My problem is that I can log in via web browser using admin and default password to open the RevPi Status and PICtory, but I cannot log in via SSH/Terminal, as I used the default password; it always says wrong password. It is also the same when I want to connect via VNC Viewer; the password is always wrong.
The RevPi is configured for bot options with B4-Desktop Autologin Auto GUI and automatically logged as a pi user.
How do I reset this SSH password?
I read in viewtopic.php?p=14615&hilit=password#p14615, but several steps I couldn't understand well. For example, "insert the card into a Windows machine." Does inserting the USB stick drive mean it can work?
This question may be fundamental since I am new to using the RevPi.
I am looking forward to your advice on how to solve this problem.
Thank You

Re: SSH Password does not work
Hello ananda, the easiest way is to install the latest compatible RevPi Bookworm OS, which you can find here in the download area:

Hello dirk, thanks for your response. Yes, I noticed this is the easiest way.dirk wrote: 29 Apr 2025, 09:12 Hello ananda, the easiest way is to install the latest compatible RevPi Bookworm OS, which you can find here in the download area:

But I'm worried this will affect the program system because it's already established, and somehow, the password is forgotten.
Thank You
Re: SSH Password does not work
If you are logged in automatically you can try to reset the password like this:
sudo passwd pi
Nicolai
sudo passwd pi

Thus my suggestions is to open a terminal on the UI where you are logged in.

Thank you for the advice, I already reset the password by connecting the Revpi with Monitor via HDMI.nicolaiB wrote: 29 Apr 2025, 14:09 You wrote: " The RevPi is configured for bot options with B4-Desktop Autologin Auto GUI and automatically logged as a pi user."

And just run the code for change password.
