Can't SSH into Retropie

Re: Can't SSH (even though enabled)
I came across this issue when I installed RetroPie for the first time. Some people couldn't SSH into the Pi and this could be a possible solution:
Summary:
- DO NOT change the default password.
- Enable SSH from rasp-config menu. Restart if you need to.
- SSH into the PI from you computer (ssh pi@<ip_address>) and enter the default password "raspberry"
- Change the password from the terminal using the command "passwd".
I had changed the default password from rasp-config menu BEFORE enabling SSH or trying SSH. I couldn't connect to the box. Then I figured I'd try resetting the password back to its default "raspberry" and try SSH again. It worked.
