SSH Password

I 'm trying to log in on my network via SSH. I put in user name pi with the ip address and when it ask for the password I used the default raspberry but it will not logon. I know I did not change the password so does this mean I have to reinstall from the beginning? Is there another way?

If you didn't change anything, that should work. Can you share your entire login attempt, and the error message?

My bad I left the brackets around the user. Sorry:need: Its working now. I'm trying to set my local time but its seems I have to be su to do it. When i use su the password raspberry does not work, is thier another password for su? If I try as pi user I get operation not permitted. I tried hwclock --show -utc but I get cannot access the hardware clock. I tried ntpdate but I get permission denied. timedatectl gives all the correct info sso the clock is working. ok got it using sudo su and was able to use date and set the new time.

FYI it is just sudo <COMMAND YOU WANT TO RUN>, it is considered bad practice to do sudo su and then run everything as root
