Hi all,
Under the General tab in rs.local I made some small changes to the settings then I tried to save and restart my Shake&Boom. The problem is, I used the default password of “shakeme” although I cannot remember if I subsequently changed it. (Please note that I haven’t used my Shake device for a long period - 18 months). The system would not restart even after several attempts and after leaving it for many minutes.
I cannot remember if I changed the default password and I no longer know what that password is.
How can I now achieve a correct restart with my new settings? Also, my Shake’s location is not being shown at the correct location in Shakenet under “My Shake”.
Ant assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Hello stevedj, and welcome back to our community!
From what you are describing, it could definitely be the case of an updated password. We have various solutions for your issue:
-
You can reset the password to a temporary one, following the procedure on this page Ready, Set, Get Hacked! Security and Raspberry Shake — Instructions on Setting Up Your Raspberry Shake, in the section Oops! I forgot my ssh password
-
You can re-burn your Shake’s microSD card, and the password will be automatically reset to the default one shakeme. I will leave the burning instructions here for your convenience:
