OK, somehow you have managed (?) to either change the usernames or passwords or have done something to mess up file permssions. You only choise is to either use another Linux machine to mount the file system on the SD can hack things (eg fix the file system perms or hand edit the password file). Or boot the machine into single user mode -- this will mean you need to get a FTTI server port cable and intercept the boot process and edit the boot command line in the uBoot CLI. Question: I am assuming you are booting a uSD card. Is there an O/S in the eMMC? If you can you boot that and log into that? If so, pull the uSD card out, boot the eMMC and then reisert the uSD card. You will now have a Linux system that can mount the uSD card and you can see what happened and maybe fix things. > > > On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 10:16 AM Robert Heller <[email protected]> wrote: > > > At Sun, 28 Mar 2021 10:01:55 -0700 [email protected] wrote: > > > > > > > > Upon typing the password, I get: > > > > > > Access denied. > > > > Question: were you ever able to login to these machines in the past? > > (Obvious, but needs to be asked): do you have the caps lock key on?
