Hi,

I installed new Debian image

Code: Select all

260317-revpi-bookworm-arm64-lite.img
from Kunbus and now I cant login via SSH. I used the username "pi" and pass from the side of the RPi, but it doesnt work. (Yes I know its EN keyboard and have tried y<->z switch).

Is there some new default password?

Previous debian version was Stretch

Hello! There is indeed a default password for the very first login after flashing. It's "raspberry" for bookworm and earlier, and will be "revolutionpi" for trixie and later.

This is also described in our documentation here: https://revolutionpi.com/en/knowledge/r ... _the_revpi

Do also keep in mind that entering a password wrong 3 times will lock the account for 10 minutes, requiring you to either wait the 10 minutes or reboot the device to try logging in again. A short mention of this can be found in the documentation here under the package name "revpi-pam-faillock": https://revolutionpi.com/en/docs/revpi-images#bookworm

Thank you very much. It has been so long since I had to install images on our RPIs
