How do i find out which Username & PW to use if i forgot them?
A while ago i changed the Username & Password from the default pi & raspberry - how do i find out which username & password i used and how do i get my access back/ reset to default? So i can use SSH again.
Totally my mistake, but not the most experienced in Linux.😖

Thx for the quick advice, is there no other way? If i reset it can i just copy the config files back in?
If you could easily extract the old password, it wouldn't be very sedure 😛
And yes, copying the config files back in will get you right back where you were
*secure
unless you deleted the old user - try logging in as pi (password raspberry) and then using sudo reset the user you created?

You can recover the access without reinstalling the entire OS.
(watch you keyboard layout because of the qwerty/ qwertz)
Thx for your help guys.
