Octopi refuses to work overall: can't connect through octopi.local, can't log in.
What did you already try to solve it?
Tried finding IP through file explorer: no luck,
Tried resetting in raspberry pi imager: didn't work,
Switched pis from 3b to 2b ( i think), which caused the problem.
Tried connecting to monitor and logging in manually: no password worked.
Have you tried running in safe mode?
No, however no plugins are installed
Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Systeminfo Bundle
You can download this in OctoPrint's System Information dialog ... no bundle, no support!)
can't get in; so no bundle is accessible
Additional information about your setup
OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, browser, operating system, ... as much data as possible
Octopi/print version is the latest non-nightly, using an ender 3 pro, tried chrome, opera gx, and android chrome, using windows, worked before using the same printer, computer, os, browser, network, imager, msd card, and doesn't work in essentially the same conditions.
Do you have the chance to connect a HDMI TV/monitor to the Pi?
Usually you should see the startup sequence with some information on OctoPrint in the end.
Ok, so after putting in 2 different wifi dongles, neither worked, but one lit up for a split second when plugging it in. Neither show up under network still, so either my wifi dongles are dead, the raspberry pi can't power them, or the raspberry pi doesn't like them.
Probably corrupted the root filesystem. Reflash the SD with the pi imager program. You can set the username/password and WiFi info before you flash it.
