Aug 27 13:12:16 <poopypants> hello
Aug 27 13:12:21 <poopypants> I wonder if someone can help me
Aug 27 13:12:44 <poopypants> I got a beagleboard black wireless, and I can't use the su - command, which I would like to.
Aug 27 13:13:11 <poopypants> I'm assuming it is the same password as the 'debian' user, which online there are many, many apparent 'default' passwords for
Aug 27 13:14:29 <poopypants> however, none seem to work - I've used: [nothing, just enter], admin, password, root, passwd, temppwd, BeagleBone, BeagleBoard, debian, sudo, (I know half of this stuff isn't likely, or really what you'd write in the password bit, but going nuts trying to find something that will work)
Aug 27 13:15:00 <poopypants> I've definitely never set a password, but I tried all the ones I can remember of my own
Aug 27 13:15:16 <poopypants> just in case I did and forgot
Aug 27 13:16:31 <poopypants> I'm unable to even choose the time zone on it, as all needs authentication...but since it was new anyway when I got it in a shrink wrapped package, I don't even know if resetting it is worth doing, since I see no difference between what it will be then and now
Aug 27 13:17:53 <bunk_> poopypants: AFAIR there is not default root password, try:
Aug 27 13:18:13 <bunk_> sudo bash
Aug 27 13:25:10 <poopypants> sorry, lost connection
Aug 27 13:25:23 <poopypants> I know that someone was replying
Aug 27 13:28:09 <bunk_> poopypants: sudo bash
Aug 27 13:28:43 <poopypants> tried it too, and it just comes to the password
Aug 27 13:29:06 <bunk_> poopypants: and the password of the debian user doesn't work there?
Aug 27 13:30:52 <poopypants> literally nowhere where the OS queries me for a password, even time zone change, it asks for password and always the same, authentication failed, or authentication failed for some reason is the response
Aug 27 13:31:38 <poopypants> I'm guessing the only possible thing to do now is a reset or an install of a system already with a known password?
Aug 27 13:33:11 <poopypants> I never set a debian user password
Aug 27 13:34:08 <poopypants> I've tried all the admin/suggested user names/passwords I have come across on the internet on searching, but I'm lost now on what it could be
Aug 27 13:34:28 <poopypants> in both the user passwords, and the root/su passwords
Aug 27 13:34:40 <poopypants> thanks, btw, for your help here!
