      Absolute noob at this, no idea what i am doing. Got a retropie loaded sd card and a rasberry pi 3. Launched up retropie well, worked for a while. Tried to swap to emulation station from attract mode and then my pi was asking me for ‘root user pi’s password” google it and it said it was rasberry, typed that in all fine and then it said there was an authentication token manipulation error. What does this mean and how tf do i fix this

        @dreaded_walrus Please use a meaningful title when opening a topic.

        Thre is not root password in the RetroPie image for the PI. The pi user has sudo privileges, so no password is needed if you prefix your commands with sudo.
        What is the command/action you're trying to acomplish ? Move a file, edit a file, run a comand, etc. ?
