[PROBLEM] ssh password

[warp2]

Success - Thank you both of you,

first I tried to find out how to start a CLI

Quote:One thing to try would be to stop kodi/xbmc and from the command prompt type sudo xbian-config.

This was not at all clear for me, as my only way to a command line would be ssh which did not work. While searching for a solution I turned on the advanced option in the Confluence screen.

Thereafter I tried to login without whitespaces as you suggested. And this worked, however, very strange, with "raspberrz". It finally opened the old ANSI-C user interface (for first setup) and allowed to change the password to non critical letters. There is an option to open up a root account which I tried to do but without success. I shall try it again with sudo which is logical from the safety point of view.

Finally a suggestion for improvement (you certainly will have a way to pass it on to the right guys) use absolutely uncritical default passwords such as 1234. There are too many languages in the world to avoid all traps. In the end it is the users responsibility to set up an individual password and only this makes sense.
