Asking for retropie login on boot? (after update)

[DKarn]

@Sano I am putting a comment here because this is the BEST way to remove the login password and I keep loosing it. BTW what I have found is that the options that I have been find that options that are suggested remove the text from the boot but not the password. now I can just look under my past comments

I got it! i Googled the password for the image Im working with in this case Use: pi Pass' supreme2019 and it worked:)

@cms3717 you're on the wrong forum then. That software has nothing to do with us, apart from they used our code as a base.

I just turned on my retropie and had this issue. I typed the login and password suggested and worked.
I was wondering if that is going to happen every time I turn my retropie on, if so how can I skip that without the login/password?
Thank guys very helpfull!

@Marvos The answer is in the 1st page of this topic - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18591/asking-for-retropie-login-on-boot-after-update/13. Or, the Docs.

Hello,
I have the same problem, I cannot enter the login and password.
every time he tells me incorrect login ....
how do you get into sudo-config ??
"at command prompt, type sudo raspi-config
select option 3 in menu (Boot Options)
select option B1 (Desktopp/CLI)
select option B2 (Console Autologin)"
thanks

What user/password are you typing ? Maybe you changed the default password ?

@mitu hello,
just pi and Raspberry
I am a beginner, and I have just created my retropie.
I did my installation, put the roms, bios and I wanted to do an update and it happened this at launch.
I am blocked at login
I could redo everything from the start but I would prefer to find the solution to restart from the login request

The default password is raspberry, not Raspberry.

[shura-3275]

@windg excuse me I made a typo in my post.
I wrote well in raspberry in retropie

The default RetroPie image has user pi and password raspberry. If you used that image to install and didn't change the password yourself (recommended), then the credentials should work. If they don't, then we can't help you - you either changed your default password or not using the RetroPie image.

[shura-3275]

@mitu downloaded the retropie image on your website then install with win32 ... on my sd card.
retropie launched correctly then I went to setup retropie and asked for an update.
and at the reboot I had this problem.
that's all i touched ... i didn't try to change the password
I should have changed the password before doing an update ??

How are you entering the user password ? Can you describe it step by step ?

[shura-3275]

@mitu when he asked me for login, i plugged my keyboard into usb and type pi then enter
then he asks me for the password .. at that time when the small bar flashes after the word password, I can not write anything and I have to press twice to enter and be able to write raspberry.
but I have to do it quickly otherwise it will re-ask me for the login

[mitu]

@shura-3275 When you're prompted for the password, just write the password, even if the terminal doesn't echo back the actual password - while you type your password nothing should appear on the screen, that's how it works.
So, at login write pi, then press Enter, when asked for password just write raspberry and then press Enter.

No, it should have logged you in automatically and started EmulationStation. Did you choose the 'Auto-login to Console' option in raspi-config ?
