no keyboard when resetting lost password

[sdegabrielle]

Hi

I'm following the instructions to reset a lost password at https://howtoraspberrypi.com/recover-pa ... pberry-pi/

I have the pi zero booting (after adding ` init=/bin/sh` to `cmdline.txt`.) to

Code: Select all

/bin/sh: 0: can't access tty; job control turned off
#

I know the keyboard is working because I've tested ti with another device, and holding shift when starting lets me choose recovery mode.

Any ideas ?

I have a Pi Zero W w/Inky pHAT e-ink screen
Raspbian noobs 2.4.3 (2017)

Kind regards,

Stephen

Luckily on NOOBs - so instead of solving the problem I've started the process of moving to more recent version of raspberry pi os.

instead of just "/bin/sh" try using this in your cmdline.txt, I don't think it has to be in quotes but it might do.

Code: Select all

/bin/sh -m

too late lol

Thanks anyway - your tip might help someone else - or me next time I forget!
