Title: [Solved] Does RPi use a password?
Post by: aus9 on August 17, 2020, 05:55:08 AM

I have just got a RPi and am a newbie for this hardware.

I worked out I needed to edit /opt/bootsync.sh (as I use the default hostname on TC64) and want a diff hostname on RPi and with other changes, I need to run

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -b as  RPi does not "appear" to automate backup on reboot.

Anyhow I tried to setup a passwd for RPi but its asking for old pw which I do not know.

Any clues?  Does the 6/7/7l release differ for pw?

Altho I have a RPi 4 I am running the version of http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv6/releases/RPi/
as I plan to do something if I have skills etc.

The password is piCore for all versions.

Note also that the piCore-11.x image is identical for all versions, but will automatically boot the correct initrd's for your hardware.
