the documented password for user “root” is “OpenRepeater”
This fails

I’ve substituted “admin” and “pi” for the username, with ungood results.

I’ve tried all three usernames with all-lowercase “openrepeater” with ungood results.

For those unfamiliar with RPi, there’s a way to recover lost passwords:
//
Insert the card in your SD card reader;
Edit the file “cmdline.txt” and append “init=/bin/sh”;
The Rpi will boot in single user mode;
Insert the card in the RPi again and boot up;
When prompt available, enter “su” to log as root (with no password);
//

However, this fails “/bin/sh: 0: can’t access tty; job control turned off” appears in the boot time dmesg.

suggestions on how to get to a point where I can reset the root password?

Perhaps another documented non-root username to try?

Thanks!
Joe

Hi Joe,
Please see this forum topic: https://openrepeater.com/forums/topic/default-ssh-password-not-working

We will fix that in the next release.

Also this is not build on Raspbian. It is built on Debian Jessie which is why you don’t get the expect RPI functions.
