      Hi I am relative newbie and have got myself stuck.

      I changed the resolution to default from retropie setup and now nothing will display on my tv.

      I have tried logging in to the pi using mobixterm and SSH
      using pi as a user and raspberry as the password to edit the config.txt file in the boot menu for safe mode hdmi.

      the problem is i am getting access denied when trying to upload the edited config file.

      can anyone please help?!

        Try to modify the file, without download/upload anything, from the terminal window with this command :

        sudo nano /boot/config.txt
        

        After you edit it, press ctrl+o to save the change and ctrl+x to exit.

        Also, you can edit this file from a windows machine, because boot partition is readable (fat32).

        My English isn't at a good level.
