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.
