Hello all,

After a month of not even powering up my BBB, today I needed to do something so 
I powered on my board. However I could not ssh to my device, could not even 
ping it at first few tries. I kept rebooting and after some time I could ping 
to my device however when I tried to login to my account, I got incorrect 
password error. However I think it is not very plausible that I changed and 
forgot the password. Probably it cannot find the user. (You can even try ssh 
[email protected]) Also I logged in as root user and tried to change 
my account's password as: passwd userName pass however I got the error userName 
cannot be found. How can I make sure that my old account still exists?

Also I have another SD card with the same debian distro, lets call it SD card 
#2. When I plugged that card, I can successfuly ssh to it everytime, but with 
my old SD card it depends. If I plug it after SD card #2 I do not experience 
any issues but if I plug it off and then plug it in, mostly I cannot ping it. 
As a solution, I insert SD card #2 then plug my other card than it works. But 
the main problem is this:


If I plug SD Card #1, make some changes like adding folders etc, I can still 
see them when I plug SD Card #2. Exactly the same files are available, does not 
matter which card I insert. Also I tried the extreme case: I changed the root 
password when SD Card #2 is inserted, then plugged it off and inserted SD Card 
#1, its root password was changed as well. (Order does not matter.)

So I guess, I cannot boot from SD card, only making changes on eMMC. What can I 
do for it? I really need the files, configurations, libraries that were on my 
user account.

Kind Regards,
Frank
