wocketpatch Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 Hi, I am using the Ubuntu desktop image found here https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-prime/ I am able to start the board, it lights up and connects to the network via ethernet -- I see it come up in my DHCP table and am then able to connect via SSH Docs say to use root:1234 for login, but I get Access denied. I found another forum post that says root is disabled via SSH by default. When I try to connect locally, I get no video from HDMI so I don't know what it's loading up to. I had hoped to be able to configure via SSH but can't get in. Any ideas on how I can proceed? Thank you!

Do you have a USB-UART dongle to see what happens during boot? I guess you never saw the first boot login where you have to change the root password?

I guess you never saw the first boot login where you have to change the root password? My bad, the forum post on orangepi forums that I was referring to actually says it's disabled but not on Armbian. I misread that part and thought that must be the explanation, since it definitely does not accept root:1234 http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3434 Still, I am unable to log in. No I'm afraid I do not have the dongle. I tried re-imaging the card again to connect via SSH right away on first boot (since I had previously tried booting it several times before I tried to connect via SSH) but no luck. It still says Access Denied. I can't find any documentation that has a working username and password, though it is responding on port 22 and requesting a login.

You are forced to change a password and create a normal user. Then you can log in. root 1234 1234 your new password your new password again username password password again https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-login
wocketpatch Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 Thanks for confirming the order it asks for them, I had tried to do it blind (with just a usb keyboard) a few times with no luck. In the meantime I found a monitor that seems to support the default res though, so I'm now able to see a login screen via hdmi. Alas, when I try root and 1234 i get the message 'Login incorrect or forbidden by policy' I tried formatting the card and writing the image over again so I could see the first boot, and even then I get this same message, so I guess that explains why I wasn't able to do it blind either Thanks for the replies so far!
