      @Lolonois It's not the same issue. The problem reported happens because of an OS upgrade which breaks auto-login. The autostart.sh script is not modified by the OS upgrades so re-editing it doesn't fix anything.

        The easiest way to fix it is to first login with username: pi Password: raspberry
        then go to raspi-config 0_1542863665706_tutorial-retropie-02-01f.jpg
        Select Change User password 0_1542864006915_raspi-config.png
        Set to auto login in the options
        And you are done your pi should start normally and login without manually having to out in the password.

          I am also getting the auto-login after updating the OS, but something is wrong, the default login and password aren't working, and I never mess with those anyway. Whats more, my NOOBS recovery won't respond to the shift key during boot-up, so I can't even repair or edit anything. What did that blasted update do??

                I having the same problem, I’m getting in and changed password but it keeps booting to the command prompt screen . When I go to rasp config and try to change boot options like suggested in many thread reply’s but it reboots to the command prompt screen and won’t boot to ES.

                Is the a way yo get to RetroPie setup from command prompt to change settings?

                Thanks

                  Run

                  sudo ~/Retropie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
                  

                  and you'll have the RetroPie script started and you can make changes.

                        @Potatopops9 The solution is in this topic - have you tried applying the fixes suggested ? For the record, you're supposed to write pi at the login prompt and press enter, then write the password (raspberry). You've wrote sudo passwd pi , password instead.

                                  @Potatopops9 because that's not the password. It's raspberry as @mitu has already said.

                                    @Potatopops9 @paffley I tried to redo here and realized that the "Y" and "Z" key are changed in my appraisal.
                                    So at the time of typing the password I wrote:
                                    raspberrz

                                          @Potatopops9 Why did you do the above ? You have removed RetroPie.

                                            yeah rm command is remove directory. You need to reflash your sd card and start again.
