F22 and the RPI2B

[Bob Goodwin]

I tried this yesterday on the ARM list and got no response. Perhaps 
someone here has a suggestion?

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(a)192.168.1.83
bobg(a)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
