+ What is the default password? How do I change it? + +* There are two types of accounts: OS and Pi-KVM (web interface) accounts. The system account `root` can be used for SSH/UART access and has the password `root`. The web interface account is called `admin` and has the password `admin`. The Pi-KVM account cannot be used for SSH access and vice versa. + + To change passwords, use the following commands (under root): + ```bash + su - # If you're in the webterm + rw # Switch filesystem to read-write mode + passwd root # Change OS root password + kvmd-passwd set admin # Change web ui admin password + ro # Back to read-only + ``` +
+ +
+ How do I get root access in the web terminal? + +* The web terminal works with the account `kvmd-webterm`. This is a regular user with no administrator privileges. In addition, `sudo` is disabled for this user for security reasons. To get `root` access, you need to use the `su -` command (minus is important) and **enter the root password**. +
