Default password not working

Today I received our first brand new RevPi Connect 5.

Unfortunately every attempt to log in to the system refuses the password:
  • with direct monitor+keyboard
  • on webinterface at port 41443 on the ip address mentioned on monitor. I got a beautiful webinterface opening screen, so network is working fine
  • with ssh to the ip adress mentioned on monitor, local in our network
Username is pi, but I also tried admin as I found in some other posts.
The password consists out of 6 plain simple lowercase characters, I triple checked my typing.
What else can I do?

Issue solved.
Contrary to the sticker on the side of the unit the password turns out to be the old raspberry password. I thought that was abandoned. Hope this might help others.

Hi,

thanks for the report, this shouldn't have happened. What's the serial number of the affected device?

Hi there

Just happened the same to me this week.
Received brand new RevPi Connect 4 and could not login, just like ivomans, the password on the label is not correct.

There's something else that can be done ? or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi, try the default image password `raspberry`. You can reset it to the password on the printed label by running the following two commands:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/revpi/factory-reset
sudo /usr/sbin/revpi-factory-reset
The output should look similar to this one (password and serial in the hostname should match your label):

Code: Select all

Using hostname prefix 'RevPi'
Password:	abcdef
Hostname:	RevPi123456
Be sure to write down the password if you have lost the sticker
on your RevPi!

Thanks Nicolai

The default image password worked.

Cheers
