Hello,
I want to login and set the hostname and some other settings. I’m trying to login to the OS via PUTTY and also via keyboard, and in both places the default username and password aren’t working. On PUTTY, once I enter “root”, I get “access denied” when I try the password. On the screen, it just fails back to the login prompt. I am using the password “OpenRepeater” (with caps on “O” and “R”).

Otherwise, I’m able to login to the web interface and that works just fine.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,
A couple questions:

What Device/IMG are you using?
If the RPI2, when did you download the image?

You are able to get into the web interface, so that should mean that you are able to ping it as well. Which is a good indication.

Hi,

Same problem here with openrepeater-raspi2-1.0.0-beta1-07_07_15.img. I had to edit /etc/shadow file, from another linux machine, and replace the MD5 hash for root.

Hello Guys,
We are still looking into this and should have something figured out soon. Rares already found a work around. Chris in the meantime try the following and let us know if any of these work:

Default user account:
username: debian
password: temppwd

Try the follow root PW:
username: root
password: debian

There is a possibility there was a problem with the rebuilt image. Jessie has been giving us some issues on the RPI build.

The current ssh login on the pi2 img is root/debian .
The current ssh login on the c1 img is root/odroid.

I will fix this asap .

I am currently limited to phone based internet at the min in my current location. I am currently relocating and its a bit hard to get things done.

sorry guys..

Sorry, I’ve been busy, so I haven’t had a chance to look at your replies until now. I appreciate your responses and I will try the latest image and let you know how it goes. Thanks!
