impossible to access KIWI-BBG LINUX Deb 8.5 via PUTTY
HI, preface : my Linux conaissance is very very basic.
My KIWI ser 1680 is uptodate v 1.596.
In reading of the possible upgrade to Deb v10.x I was trying to acces the Linux part of my BBG-KIWI via PUTTY over wired LAN
to begin the steps written by JKS , but no way to enter neither as ROOT nor ADMIN using the password I know;
the connection via IP goes OFF after few tries.
I have never set a password to access BBG_Linux and the ADMIN_WEB access is OK;
I remember some years ago I entered the Linux OS to copy the config file just for learning purpose
and that time I entered without a password.
Any suggestion ?

can you access the console from the kiwi admin page?
The Linux/Beagle
rootanddebianaccount passwords are very likely to have been set to your Kiwi's serial number:1680or perhaps the Kiwi admin password. So try those.This change happened in v1.354 https://forum.kiwisdr.com/discussion/1801/v1-354-security-improvements-debian-root-password-no-longer-unset-blank/p1
HI es GM
ZKD : yes the console inside the web-browser-page opens ok : CONSOLE: open connection
JKS: access denied either admin passw or serial 1680
in the PUTTY IP address field I write the KIWI's IP and the PUTTY port is 22 connection type:SSH
just retried to access as ROOT with the serial number, but nothing ...
Did you try with username debian?
AWL, hallo just tried now username debian...no luck
Since you can still get a root shell using the Kiwi admin console tab, just use the Linux
passwdcommand. Type it, the return key, and it will prompt you (twice) to enter a new root password. Use the Kiwi serial number.With Debian 8 you should then be able to ssh/PuTTY to the Kiwi as root. For Debian 9 and greater you have to do more to enable root logins. But that's not the issue here.
GE, JKS: tnx for the suggestion, it has worked ok, it was 2018 when I logged lasttime in HI.
Now ahead to read the further infos...
