    Hi Martin,
    Thanks for the tip! For temporary use, you can also log in with the user pi and the pw raspberry and then enter su to be able to enter the root-password max2play.

    I am not able to login as root to the raspberry pi 2 b via ssh using the password „max2play“

    I am able to log in to the odroid XU4 via ssh as root with the password „max2play“

    Is there step I am missing with the raspberry pi?

    Hi, we have removed the default root login. However, you can still navigate through SSH with root privileges by logging in as user: pi pw: raspberry and typing „su“, the same pw for root applies „max2play“.

    Is it ok to change the su as well as user password?

    Hi guw,
    You can of course do with your device and its sd card what you like. However, we do not recommend changing root password or the user.

    Hi,

    I SSH to the Pi and login with User pi and PW max2play.

    When I issue the „su“ command and enter PW max2play again I get: „su: Authentication failure“.

    Any idea? I have a PI 4 and am running the m2p_buster_rpi-v250.img.zip

    Thanks for any help!
    P.

    P.S. I need root privileges because I wish to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf in order to troubleshoot the PI not connectin to Wifi with hidden SSID.

    Okay, „sudo“ before the command works without asking for password (?!).
    So my problem is solved, but root PW is changed for max2play PI 4 ..?

    Best,
    P.

    Hi philou,

    You should need an additional PW to get to su. This has changed a while back for security reasons. Just enter sudo su when you are logged in as user pi.
