      My Pi is not letting me in after updating it its asking for a password and username..i have tried PI and RASPBERRY and it says incorrect. Is there a way around this without losing all my games and data?

        It shouldn't ask you for a password. The default password and username are lower case. However it doesn't generally ask you for a password to access emulationstation

            @WarbirdLS1 Not too sure without knowing if you're using a raspberry pi, where you installed from etc

              Did you try to login with the lowercase as retropieuser555 suggested you?

              It looks that the system don't set to boot first into emulationstation, it's something that you can fix if something else didn't happen.

              You can connect from SFTP or with Samba and take you files, see: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/.

              My English isn't at a good level.
