wocketpatch Posted April 7, 2018 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wocketpatch Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share 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!
