Now the root account of the Raspberry Pi is ready to be accessed via remote SSH.

For Raspberry Pi OS, those are: login: pi password: raspberry However, the SSH service must first be enabled in the Raspberry Pi Configuration tool. Save the file and then restart the ssh service by command “/etc/init.d/ssh restart”. Raspberry Pi operating systems typically have default passwords in order to access SSH. To enable root login via SSH, edit the ssh_config in /etc/ssh/ssh_config by command “sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config”, and change the value of “PermitRootLogin” to “yes”. Changing this default password after enabling the SSH access with the new one is very important because the raspberry pi is now can be accessed by anyone from anywhere (depending on the network accessibility). Change the password for pi by command “sudo passwd pi”, and the root by command “sudo passwd root”.

After enabling SSH the system may show a warning for changing default password. To enable SSH login, run “sudo raspi-config” and go to -> SSH. For all of those services, it is often needed to be accessible via remote SSH login. It is powerful enough to do many things, so we can use it for “all in one” servers, ranging from web, database, backup, ftp, or even for ipcam recording. All this works as expected under Jessie, but appears to have no effect under Stretch where the root password is simply ignored. Searching raspberry pi and unifi controller corrupting returns a tonne of results in. After MySQL is installed, I run: Code: Select all mysqladmin -u root -ppassw0rd password '' To clear the password. Authenticating as: root Password: AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE.

Raspberry Pi is a very nice small single board computer system, because it is low cost, compact, and low power. This is to keep the MySQL installation from bugging me for a password.
