Incorrect login Orangepi 5b

Hello everyone, I am creating a custom Armbian build for OPI5 && OPI5b. The task is as follows: install several packages in the system and fully configure it. While there are no issues with installing packages and configuring the network, there is a peculiarity with the login and password. Specifically, sometimes after writing the image to the emmc opi5b or SD card, the system allows me to log in with my pre-configured credentials, but other times, when flashing the same image, the system simply rejects my pre-set data and displays the message “Login Incorrect.” 

How I set the initial settings for the system:

In /root there is a file called .not_logged_in_yet, from which data is pulled when you first log in to the system, thanks to which it is automatically configured (this method was tested on nanopi m6 and RPI 3b+) and everything worked fine, but for some reason, it is with orangepi 5 && orangepi 5b that I get such artifacts.

My .not_logged_in_yet looks like this:

# Network settings

PRESET_NET_CHANGE_DEFAULTS="1"

PRESET_NET_WIFI_ENABLED="1"

PRESET_NET_WIFI_SSID="MyWiFi"

PRESET_NET_WIFI_KEY="MyWiFiPassword"

PRESET_NET_WIFI_COUNTRYCODE=“RU”

PRESET_CONNECT_WIRELESS="n"

PRESET_NET_USE_STATIC="1"

PRESET_NET_STATIC_IP="192.168.1.100"

PRESET_NET_STATIC_MASK=“255.255.255.0”

PRESET_NET_STATIC_GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"

PRESET_NET_STATIC_DNS="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

# System settings

SET_LANG_BASED_ON_LOCATION="n"

PRESET_LOCALE="ru_RU.UTF-8"

PRESET_TIMEZONE="Europe/Moscow"

# Root settings

PRESET_ROOT_PASSWORD="mysecretrootpass"

# User creation

PRESET_USER_NAME="user1"

PRESET_USER_PASSWORD="mypassword"

PRESET_DEFAULT_REALNAME="User One"

PRESET_USER_SHELL="bash"

For my Armbian image, I use the VENDOR 6.1 kernel - ubunu 22.04 jammy.

What could be the problem?
