Trying to upgrade xbian to 1.0 beta 2 and would like to logon via ssh or directly, but the old root password of raspberry does not seem to be working. None of the getting started pages on the xbian.org website exist (getting 404s). What is the correct username and password please?

Cheers,

Michael

Login as xbian (password = raspberry)
You are able to change the root password using xbian-config (started by default for the xbian user)
or change it using the command line interface.

Just type:

Terminal

sudo -i

You are asked for a password. Type the password of the xbian user (raspberry)
Now you are root!
To change root's password just type:

Terminal

passwd

You are asked for the new root password twice.
