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@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

Check if you have /mnt/etc/sdcard/shadow. If you have then remove the hashed pasword for root ie:
root:<hashed password>::0:99999:7::: -> root:::0:99999:7:::
I did that but it still wont let me in, just "try again."

By the way have you enabled "PermitRootLogin" in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config? Remove # in the start of the line:
#PermitRootLogin yes
Look at man sshd_config for futher information.

Did that in addition to changing root in /etc/shadow. It booted and gave me a text screen I've never seen before asking to set language, password, etc. I set the password but apparently did not close it correctly, it didn't work and worse yet that apparently only comes up once. I can't get back to it, it goes directly to the graphic login screen and I have no keyboard/mouse control which I would like to investigate via ssh ...
The changes I made are still there, nut something triggers the text screen for pass word entry, what?
At this point all I can do is start over with another sd card.
Your help has been valuable, thanks,
Bob

Not something to do with firstboot or initial-setup? I seem to recall that if you dropped a dot prefixed filename into the root directory, it'd be read at boot time, and go through the firstboot setup routine.

It's asking you for bobg's password, not root's. Modifying root's credentials won't touch bobg's.

Yes, a bad example, I'm sorry.
ssh root@192.168.1.83 produced the same result.
Thanks for the warning though, an easy thing for me to overlook.

by chance, do bobg and root have same passwords on both systems?
you must supply password for system you ssh to, not system from.

in above, 1st password was for boxen. 2nd password was for tos-sat. which is what it is asking for with "geo@192.168.1.5's password:" as noted by "5's".
so, disregard what you found in your gaagle search and restore the files you changed. ist because my password files in /etc are as yours were.

Due to limited mental capacity I only use one long password, designated strong by the Fedora installer for whatever that is worth, one for everything, mostly. Certainly in this case I've made them all the same.

. i make not brag for my chemo brain, other than a simple 1 letter change between my 2 systems. ;-)
only other suggestion, if you have not tried already, would be login directly on the rpi2b, remove password for bobg, then try a remote login to see what happens. nct.

. I've created another sd card with the changes Jon Ingason suggested and once more on the first boot it goes to a text screen asking for set up data, password, etc, four items.
I am getting this text screen to set the initial conditions, I've set the root password, Language, and time zone information. Apparently the set user is disabled. But that all seems straight forward, however once I've done that I don't know what to do next, I'm guessing "r" for refresh which may be writing what I've entered and then "q" for quit?
"Please make your choice from above ["q" to quit | "c" to continue | "r" to refresh]:_"
Earlier I set the password and "q". It then asks are you sure, if not you may not be able to use the system [I paraphrase]. I could not ssh into it and had to start from scratch with another sd card.
So now I try with the new memory card and try to connect via ssh:
[bobg@box10 ~]$ ssh root@192.168.1.83 root@192.168.1.83's password: Permission denied, please try again. root@192.168.1.83's password: Permission denied, please try again. root@192.168.1.83's password: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).
Well that did not work either. I am still locked out of the new install. If nothing else it is secure!
I saved the SD card contents and can rewrite it but that's a slow process no matter how I do it. There must be a way to undo that first boot restriction? Even then I don't know how to respond to that menu after entering the requested data? [I snapped a photo of the screen should anyone be interested in that]
Can anyone make some sense out of this.

Let me guess: root login via ssh is disabled by default.
. When that's the case I don't think it ever gets to the point where it asks for a password?
Says something like "no path," it's been a while since I've seen that ... But you may be right.
