Password issues

Hi:

I am brand new to dietpi and this forum. I recently installed dietpi and Roon server on an Asus nuc15.

I have been unable to access dashboard, Allo, or cockpit as my username and password have been rejected.

I have also been unable to access attached USB drives via my Windows machine due to password issues.

I know the default user ID is root. The default password is dietpi. I had changed my password, but changed it back to dietpi. That didn’t help.

Any suggestions, please? thank you.

For samba the user is dietpi as documented on our online docs File Servers Options - DietPi.com Docs

Which dashboard?

The dietpi dashboard. It rejects dietpi.

It’s the global software password that has been set during installation and not root user password System Statistics and Management Options - DietPi.com Docs

I recommend to have a look into our online documentation
