F22 and the RPI2B -

[Bob Goodwin]

I have Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-22-3-sda.raw installed on an SD card. It runs 
to the initial installation screen and wants a password entered. 
Unfortunately it doesn't recognize the keyboard and mouse inputs.

So, I should be able to SSH into it but again since I haven't created a 
password:

[bobg@box10 ~]$ ssh -XC bobg@192.168.1.83
bobg@192.168.1.83's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

I found Googling:

/mnt/etc/sdcard/passwd  To start without passwd remove "x" from the root 
line as below:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash  > root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

I did that but it still wont let me in, just "try again."

What else can I try to work around this?

Any suggestion appreciated,

Bob

Passwords are in /etc/shadow, not in /etc/passwd
Write the x again and copy/paste the hashed password from another linux
machine in /etc/shadow. Be sure that you add the password in the line
starting with the name of the user.

I have been using the procedure described in:

http://jonarcher.info/2015/02/getting-fedora-21-raspberry-pi-2/

It seems to work well enough using Fedora ARM 22 except for the problems 
I had. The .img file he he made for F21 works well but it is a minimal 
install.

I need to try the suggestions made about the password problem  later 
today ...

Thanks all,

Bob

Very good! Doing as you suggested I can now ssh into the RPI 2B 
[Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-22-3-sda.raw] board as root and add user "bobg."

That is a major step forward for me, now I can play again ...

Thank you for the help,

Bob
