Can't log in using default password...
-
Very newbie here and for the last two hours, I’ve been trying to research my current problem. I went into rasp-config and change the boot option to “desktop GUI”. And now, it’s asking me for a password and the default password of “raspberry” isn’t working. Now I can’t log on at all. How does one get into the rasp-configuration to change it back to where it will automatically go direction to desktop? When I originally set this PI3 up, I never set a password. I hope I don’t have to re-install the OS because of this stupid mistake? Thank you!

Anyone understand what I’m talking about or need more information? Please feel free to ask.

@Turtle i understand, but don’t have any ideas for you…
maybe edit the /boot/config.txt on another machine and set to autologon for user pi…
then u can change the password -
Thank you @sdetweil, I’m just frustrating! I’m very new but I normally understand this stuff. I was working on this years ago but then stopped and just a few days ago decided to give it another shot and was updating everything which worked but couldn’t get Magic Mirror to work. So, I tried something someone posted on here and now I’m stuck. It’s looking like I have to reformat and do everything over again? Just frustrating and stuff.
-
My common sense side actually won out. Decided to just reformat everything and start over. The last time I used this Raspberry Pi was literally like 1.5 years or so ago. So, I originally downloaded the Raspbian Sketch and saw that the latest was Buster. Plus, the same thing for MagicMirror. Better to just start fresh.

@Turtle use my install script
See https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/blob/master/README.md

Thank you, @sdetweil for your script…do you have any other instructions on your script or PM2? I wasn’t really understanding PM2 but now I do but I don’t want it to start automatically right now until I get it ready. I’ll continue my search. Again, thank you.
-
@Turtle no more info… pm2 will allow you to setup restart on boot when u want… here is the doc
https://www.npmjs.com/package/pm2to add it later, use the fixuppm2 script
-
@sdetweil Thank you again!
-
@sdetweil - What do you mean by “to add it later”? When I ran your first script, it added the pm2. Does the fixuppm2 script update pm2 or just installs it? If I already have it, I don’t need to run the script, correct?
-
@Turtle correct, if you have it already, don’t need to do it again
add it later… you said N during install and now changed your mind…
run the fixup script to add it and make it work…same for the screen saver script… you said N during install and changed your mind…
-
@sdetweil, Thank you! I ran the scripts during the original install.
-
@Turtle during install, the main script handles everything
