root password on Beta 2
Hi Folks,
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 |

Just type: Terminal sudo -i Now you are root! To change root's password just type: Terminal passwd KB |

RE: root password on Beta 2
just as general understanding of this problem: it is caused by change of sshd policy (sshd from version X doesn't provide root access via password entry - by default configuration. only allowed is access by generated (rsa) key. normally updates do not alter user modified config files but this option was forced by one of the openssh updates).
what xbian-config is doing is that as one action with passwd change it also FORCES sshd to allow again password root access. Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers? Please start here |
