You absolute LEGEND. Thank you.
Just tried this on a fresh (apart from restoring a config backup) 1.8.0 install. Default 'raspberry' password did not work with the 'pi' account, nor did a password set with the octopi-password.txt tool. Tried with both Window's default SSH command and with putty, access denied on both.
did you change the username in the pi imager?
I re-imaged again, explicitly setting the username to pi (rather than leaving the option unchecked in the imager, which defaults to pi anyway). SSH then worked fine. Restoring the config backup then returns to SSH throwing access denied again. I'm guessing something in the config backup is messing with SSH (I hadn't even needed to use SSH before, so I don't know whether it was broken or not previously), so I'll just reflash and reconfigure from scratch instead.
That's really weird.
The backup contains only OctoPrint related stuff and not touch the OS.
I always forget the @ when I ssh haha, thanks for that
It seems Im having the same Issue with SSH Login as you, the pw file did not change anything. Any other work around known to this date?
Unrelated Question, Octopi provides a driver for RTL8812 USB Wifi dongle now? This is basically the reason I need to access the pi to compile the driver into it.
THX
I would be interested in a solution as well. I have restored my Pi from a previous backup and now I can't SSH anymore into the system. Neither the standard password nor the password I have set will work.
The "solution" was posted in the 7th reply four years ago. If that doesn't work for you, then I strongly suggest you open a new Get Help topic and fill in the template with YOUR details.
Welcome to 2024, and this still works. Saved me a total rebuild - THANK YOU!
Did not work for me, do I need a Linux machine to get to right folder. Will only load boot, I tried adding in file there and still nothing
The boot partition is FAT32 so that it can be accessed from almost any OS that the SD card can be connected to. I strongly suggest that you open a new Get Help topic and fill out the template with as much detail about YOUR configuration as possible. If you want our help, "did not work" and "still nothing" isn't enough information.
Alright, I am working on SSH in to my Pi 4 to update Octodash, I put my 32 GB San-Disk memory card in to my PC and opened boot folder, Did as instructed and added text file mentioned in post 7 and attempted to log in as 'pi" with new password in file and was informed it was still the wrong password, I reopened folder again after placing file on the card, File was there and so was password. As far as I can tell I followed instructions but can not get it to work as mentioned
What part of "open a new Get Help topic" don't you understand?

All of it I suppose, In the reply it clearly states to reply here if the solution doesn't work for you(link for reference Screenshot by Lightshot) . The solution did not work for me, So I posted here for help. You mentioned my response was unclear, I made it so it was clear and detailed what issues I am having. You choose to be aggressive, you choose to belittle me and respond like some entitled child. I just want you to know, I will never come back to this forum, and you need to stop thinking the Patron tag gives you the right to act like a prick. Thank you for absolutely nothing, and I have a screen shot of this and will be reporting it if I am able to do so.
Gina's way is easier for octoprint (and THANKS FOOSEL for all that you do here and with this program!!) but an addition about the inital post.
I think that if you have edited the cmdline.txt file and rebooted as in the initial question, you then do NOT use ssh via putty to connect, you have to connect keyboard and monitor to the actual machine to do the password reset.
