Hi 

 

I installed  following image on Banana pi M5 on emmc. BananaPi does boot up but it shows "PI" username for which I am not able to find password anywhere and also tried ssh into the machine which was also denied. 

 

Every time I installed the image same thing would happen with same username "PI" popping up every time. Would appreciate help if someone can share the password or what I am going wrong.

Cheers

Where did you get this image?
To my knowledge there's no pi username on Armbian images.
The first time you boot you should be asked to create a username + password.
If that doesn't happen you need to login with 'root' pw '1234'
I do know a lot of images from makers that have username 'pi' and pw 'pi'.
And why the file attached? Looks fishy...

If there is a "pi" user present the image is fake.

Thanks guys for replying back. I downloaded the image from following page and used Belana to save it on SD card. 

 

Attached image in the first post is what bootup screen looked like.

That is not Armbian. It must boot OS that is preinstalled on eMMC. You need to erase that somehow.

I think the Banana Pi M5 wiki has linux image with pi user and the password is bananapi.
