A Nextcloudpi image was burned to an SD card. A keyboard and monitor are attached: what is the default username and password for BASH (command line) access?

  • try pi raspberry – jsotola Jan 06 '20 at 05:23
  • @jsotola Good suggestion: no joy. I believe I changed the default password, so I am seeking a reference that states the default username\pw. – gatorback Jan 06 '20 at 05:25
  • couple more found on Nextcloudpi website ... https://docs.nextcloudpi.com/en/how-to-configure-nextcloudpi/ ... this one is confusing ... could be root 1234 or Armbian 1234 or root Armbian – jsotola Jan 06 '20 at 05:31

    The default username / password is pi / raspberry as this link. - I changed the default password. You changed the default password and you want us to tell you the changed password?! - What do you mean by "I am seeking a reference that states the default username\pw."? – M.

  • You can do this without the system running (remove any password): https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/47129/5538 The method is described for root but you can do the same thing for pi or whoever. Then when you login, just hit return when asked for a password. You can then use passwd to set it to whatever you want. – goldilocks Jan 06 '20 at 15:10
  • @M.Rostami Thank you: your link is exactly what I am seeking. To clarify, because attempts to login with pi/raspberry fails, the pw must have been changed: I do not expect anyone to divine the pw, however, I wanted to ensure that I am using a valid default username (pi). The goal is to restore UNIX command line access. Suggestions / solutions are appreciated. – gatorback Jan 07 '20 at 01:47
  • @gatorback I'm glad. "The goal is to restore UNIX command-line access. Suggestions / solutions are appreciated.", it would better if you ask another question for it. Thank you. – M. Rostami Jan 07 '20 at 14:41

The default username / password is pi / raspberry as this link. On a QWERTZ keyboard type z instead of y because QWERTY keyboard layout is set by default. If you can not login as pi user, change the password.

To clarify, because attempts to login with pi fails, the password must have been changed.

You can login without the system running (remove any password) by this answer. (Thanks to @gatorback) Note that the method is described for root, however, you can do it for pi or any other users.
