Hello

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?
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.
Any suggestion appreciated,
Bob
