SSH Password Resetting

Unread post by MisterGlock »

Anyone able to provide any insight as to why my ssh password isn’t sticking? I changed it but every time I run the full update script, it reverts back to factory. Thanks everyone. Appreciate the help!!

After you change the password run

Code: Select all

sync
to flush the root partition data to the microSD card.

Maybe the full update script is updating Linux and /etc/shadow is rewritten.

If that's the case, perhaps you can modify the script so it places the line back.
