The Industrial Raspberry Pi Forum

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

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.
But I'm worried this will affect the program system because it's already established, and somehow, the password is forgotten.

Thank You

If you are logged in automatically you can try to reset the password like this:

sudo passwd pi

Hi nicolaiB, it stuck because I cannot enter the correct password.


Thank You

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.
And just run the code for change password.

Thank You
