Reset the ssh password on the pi

[LostInTheTrees]

What is the problem?

I can't remember what I used for the SSH password to the pi running OctoPrint. I didn't use one of my normal ones.

Is there a way to access the SD Card and set a new password without starting from scratch and setting up the system again?

Bottom method of this post should work for you:

OctoPrint is telling me I need to update my default system password

Starting with the next release, OctoPrint's bundled Pi Support plugin will warn you if you have not yet changed the password of the Raspberry Pi's default user "pi" and SSH is enabled (which OctoPi ships with by default). [image] The setup guide originally prompted you to change this password for a reason - it simply is a security risk to leave it at its default, and even if you can fully trust the LAN you are running OctoPrint in, keeping the default password in place could make it easier for…

P.S.: The systeminfo bundle is not the systeminfo you posted, it is a zipped file. You stumbled over that download button before you clicked this tiny more...
